In a speech in the European Parliament, Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) attacks the idea of creating the United States of Europe: “The whole European project is based on a falsehood… and it’s a dangerous one.. because if you try to impose a new flag, a new anthem, a new president, a new army, a new police force; without first seeking the consent of the people you are creating the very nationalisms and resentment that the project was supposed to snuff out.”. We agree.
