Wales, Scotland, both Irelands (+Malta) have actually been giving England a chance for some decades. That is, if they would not have done that, they would have joined the euro long time ago, and left London to do whatever they migh have done. For example: - Wales,etc,etc.. already have multi-party systems in their own parliaments (Scotland has done some funny Norwegian solutions) - but they are waiting for London (Westminster) - which unluckily has a lot of banks, which - do not yet conform to euro-demands on financial legal issues - additionally, this thing about a constitution - the linguistic issues are even funnier However, Wales has been "infiltrated" enough to make any revolution possible, Scotland could have, but they didn't. That is, they all understood that sooner or later they will all be parts of the EU. ==== France have it's own set of domestic problems, which also includes mostly the dilemma of single-seat-districts. France specifically fears both extremist sides (right and left) if they would abrubptly increase what is usually called "democracy" and "representation". == Belgium has the speficic problem of a 50-50% linguistic problem, which in terms of economics was the opposite way earlier. (that is why they have all these special stuff, as well as a special place in the "heart of EU")
