&gt; In my opinion, the European Council and the Council of the European Union should be replaced by a body elected directly by either the European Parliament, or in some way, the European population.<p>The EU is never going to work because its people are too different, they don&#x27;t speak the same language, don&#x27;t have the same culture and its citizens aren&#x27;t that mobile (good luck finding a job in France if you don&#x27;t speak french, good luck expending your business to Germany if you don&#x27;t understand the German market and law, thinking that the EU can copy the US in anyway is a huge mistake). We have already seen that with each crisis ( the Greek crisis, the refugee crisis ... ) that it is still everybody for himself and rightfully so. Mind you i&#x27;m not anti-european, I was fine with the EEC, the EU is an experiment and us citizens are the guinea pigs.
