lets just hope we can find a balance and not go too extremely to the right, there is no need to repeat our mistakes again..

Just curious, but what are those "mistakes"? Surely you are not speaking of the wartime acts carried out by nearly all nations pre-1945? Such occurrences have been carried out in all time periods, by all nations, and by all political philosophies.

but i think EU should survive and go forth, unless there is a better alternative as Europe is too weak without a union....

Again, just curious, as I do not mean to criticize or support your views by these statements and questions, but what are the positive aspects of the EU, and what would you suggest as a "better alternative"?

Also, why do you think Europe would be too weak without a union? Was it not more powerful in the fiercely nationalistic Age of Imperialism? Strong nations tend to come from the people (and the will of said people), not the amount of resources in possession, or military strength. Large nations tend to face greater divisions, leading to instability, and if continuing on that trend, lead to the destruction of the nation.
