It&#x27;s indeed complicated, the EU is moving way too fast for local cultures, they are also arriving in a bad economic climate so it does not help. No-one thinks themselves &quot;European&quot; either (whatever this might mean), the European Union looks from the outside as a floating entity on top of Europe, it&#x27;s difficult for people to relate to it.<p>The fact that politicians are avoiding to do a poll with almost 35% (total of left + right parties) of votes to openly Anti-EU party (this was in 2012, I imagine it&#x27;s more now, and this is only people voting for openly anti-EU parties, the real figures are obviously higher) is also seen really negatively and does not help at all to improve the general opinion of the European Union.
