Participate in our latest EU-Digest poll: Could individual EU nation states survive going it alone in the Global Community?
Polls are interesting because every poll can be designed to give a predictable result by the way the question of the poll is phrased. If the EU Commission really wants to promote greater enthusiasm about the benefits of the EU and a sense of unity at all levels of the EU population, it should engage some of the best professional marketing agencies in the world to come up with strategies and programs that work. Academics in universities or NGO's are not up to do this task. Creative marketers who have succeeded to make us believe through innovative commercials that children can not live without sugar coated cornflakes, will surely also be able to convince us that individual European Nations can not survive in a competitive and hostile global market place without being united under the EU banner. It certainly will be worth the investment.
