Artificially creating a new European polity split between left and right would create new struggles – and intensify old ones – about redistribution. The only thing that would hold the left together would be the claim that there should be more redistribution: but to whom, and according to what mechanism?
人为地将欧盟政界分成左派右派会引发新的争斗，并且激化老的、关于再分配的争斗。唯一能把左派团结起来的是“更多再分配”的主张——但是，分配给谁，按什么机制分配？
