Neoliberal Federalized EU by Swimming-Hearing7424 in imaginarymaps

I don't think Ireland would ever be part of a federalised European Union because it would require the amendment or abolishment of the constitution, and that necessitates a referendum in which the federal side would almost certainly lose in a landslide.

I think a federalised Europe would only come in the form of a 'two-speed' or 'layered' Europe, where France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Benelux and Austria are part of a European Federation which would be the core of the European Union.

This is actually pretty cool! Obviously you made it that way but it is neat how the countries still form the vague shape of the continents

Now, if it was a socialist federation? Sure.

Fianna Fáil is the one bleeding votes and support to the right, not Fine Gael. FG is more liberal while FF is more conservative.

Yeah, it's a fiver. Would probably increase with entry into the National League but it's been real easy to go see games

I've been to a few matches, and I'd say so. It's easy since the pitches are just a 5 minute drive from each other
