Where Are The Euro Leaders?

Euro serf poses a valid question in his post, We Need Euroleaders. Read the whole piece, then the consider the crux of the matter:

There is no Trans European issues that anyone cares about, there is no trans-European electorate, there is no reason in fact for a Trans-European party to exist, other than to support or oppose the EU.

Which brings us to the crunch issue. If there is no demand for trans-European parties, does that not undermine the existence of the EU itself. After all if the electorate see no European issues for them to worry about, then how come the EU manages to find so much to do?

Sounds more and more like the UN, everyday. Doesn't it?
