      Mate the EEC was one of the European Communities, and it ended because it became part of the EU. That’s not a separate attempt. That’s the same one.

        Lol no. The treaties of Maastricht, Nice and Lisbon turned a trade bloc into a political one.

        That’s centralising power, and it always fails.
