There are other reasons. There's the EU (basically Germany and France) treatment of Greece

, which was a telling display of where the power lies and how it will be used to keep the weaker nations in their place. The powerful member states want weaker States within the common market, so that they can exploit the lower wages.

Following on from that is the question of whether that is sustainable, because it will lead to tensions between member states. There are already a number of very right wing nationalist governments in the EU, and I see that as a major issue in the future.

Then there are the wilder integrationist schemes like an EU army. What a disaster that would be. That seems to be a French idea, with the Germans not so keen, so hopefully it will never happen.
