What do you think about incorporating the British Commonwealth as a part of the larger European Community as the European Commonwealth in addition to Federalisation as a means for all post European Colonial Nations and other Non-EU countries to engage and interact with European Institutions and Nations that is a benefit to all.

Teir 1: Federal United States of Europe.

Teir 2: European Union.

Teir 3: European Commonwealth.

This is just a concept, would love to hear your thoughts on the concept.

Thank you.

Concept: Federalisation as the next tier of Integration.

Federalisation should not be a replacement for the EU but the next tier of Integration amongst Member States of the EU with its own tier of treaties as defined by all EU members.

Trying to turn the EU into a Federated State presents members with one of two options, federalise or leave. I believe this to be the wrong approach to unity. As a early member of the European Community(Ireland 1973), we have been afforded the time to adapt and learn, make it our own so to speak. We are 3 generations in, approaching our 4th, whereas the newest members are still on their first generation.

To the older members of the EU, federalisation may feel like the natural next step at the right time but to the newest members, maybe its too much, too soon. I understand the eagerness to push forward when something as great as a Untied Europe is in sight and with external forces applying pressure trying to tear it apart but we only get one shot at federalisation, we need to do this right.

Regardless of whether or not a Member State decides to federalise, they should be part of the planning and defining stage, that way when the time comes for them to federalise, they have been apart of the system form the start.

What structure that takes is for another conversation/post but I would love to hear your thoughts on this approach. Thank you.
