So as the latest neck-and-neck Brexit polls show, Britain's probably the most Euroskeptical of the major economies that were a part of the EEC and are now in the EU. They've never been as interested as the French or the Germans in "the European project", they're a large part of why nations can be in but can be excepted from the Euro, and so on. There's the old truism that the EU has a "democracy deficit" with too much power in the hands of Brussels bureaucrats who are only tenuously and indirectly connected to the people they regulate, at best, and that it's a bit too loose to be a real government at that. However, when one of three or four largest economies in the project keeps putting the brakes on, it's easy to see why the bureaucracy grows to fill the gaps.
So...what might an EEC/EU look like if Britain had never been In? Might it be possible to see a more federalized, better organized EEC/European Union earlier, would things still be a muddle, or would it be worse? What might the growth and development of a more federal Europe look like without Britain?
