As we talk nowadays about the problems in Europe,the lack of unity common strategies and diminishing importance in the world,I hope that in 2040 we will finally find a union,where there are no longer individual states,but we will have a continent modeled after the United States,where we will have a single parliament,and we will all vote together to elect it.We will all have the same laws,fewer politicians,and a more streamlined and efficient system,where the best politicians from each country can run for office.
In this way,we will be able to compete with world powers and emerging powers.
Today it seems difficult to achieve,but I believe it is the only way we can look to the future with hope.
Of course,I hope that this will happen long before 2040,and that in those years we will remember the difficulties of today,which made us unite and complete the European project.
