It's quite as corrupted but in a distinctive euro way.
Where national interests squabble in deals over the "top table" of the EU
How France came to lose the Australian submarine building programme is a case in point.
What should have been a joint programme gradually became a raid on jobs

Citizens? Or subjects of Britain? - quite a difference
In one way the 1946 Act was a preparation for the dissolution of the Empire defining who was British and who wasn't

Indeed there are though I'd suggest that if the EU wants /needs to draw the UK closer (and it clearly does want to, and not for altruistic reasons either) it has has to learn from experience and not appear intransigent

Is that a new box we must tick?
A new position where we must fall into line?
If you are pro EU then you must want to regulate and ban fireworks?

Yes. There are echoes of 2016 when EU ( Merkel) intransigence with Cameron contributed to the result. Had the EU made minor compromises the result may have been different. Fishing - economically minor but emotively huge in the UK- is not an issue to about which the EU should stubbornly insist

A stupid demand for the EU to make.
There are clearly great advantages for the EU in drawing the UK closer -overall trade, the EU Budget, European Security.
Fishing, in that big picture, is economically minor but emotively huge. Why stubbornly create a political mountain for a UK Govt to overcome?

It's never Pozan, or Mannheim, Plovdiv or Malmo.
Some gritty dirty industrial city, where the winters are long cold and dark. It's too easy to caricature Erasmus as a "free gap year". There are better hills to stand on than Erasmus

You see the "different outlook" is another aspect of this issue which makes it weak.
Something like 75% of UK Students' Erasmus applications were to Spain or Italy. For Brexiteers it's easy to sneer that the "different outlook" looked for is somewhere nice and sunny where they might holiday

Uk Citizenship was REDEFINED by the 1946 Act of Parliament - there had previous Acts and before actual Laws were passed there was a Common Law definition of who was British (or English before 1603) and who wasn't.

So what was German before it became an Empire in 1871?
You mean Passports and citizenship became necessary once it was realised that travel becoming easier and easier meant there could be mass uncontrolled immigration?
France became unified in 476? Well that's NOT a couple of Hundred years is it?
