While people want to be nation state serfs, they'll get the government they deserve. Most of what is needed is not a list of NUN funding and manpower needs but attitude change in the public.


The inhabitants of Denmark do not seem to be convinced of the wisdom of trading in their nation state serfdom for EU serfdom, if the remarks of Ms. Antonsen are anything to go by. The attitude change that would make them love being regulated by bureaucrats in Brussels does seem to have gone missing.

Yes, you are entirely correct, public attitude is the key. The budget, and # of regulations, is not key. The NUN will work, if it operates by the "consent of the govered". As long as most people in most countries are willing to trade freedom for safety, tolerate lies and thievery, meekly submit to rule by their "betters", bad government will result, no matter what its formal structure.
