But could you please explain to us why you as a citizen of Poland
should have more power than a German citizen? (at least 2 times more
power) ?

More and more power are transfered to the EU. Member countries have to
respect decision at the EU level and must bring those laws into their
national ones. If I was German or French, I would see that my vote
would mean less than yours.

What we are talking about here is the future of a whole continent.
What is the way that this continent should take. Do we favor a club of
nations with friendly relation or do we favor something a bit more
federal where EU citizens are equal and where nations are represented
but not "over represented".

If the EU is transformed into a miserable club for horse trading, I
will surely follow those that favors closer integration between
selected EU members.

I really understand those in Germany that threat to review their
annual contribution. They face a big deficit, they are near a
depression, but they still send huge sums of money to Brussels...And
the conclusion is that their citizen are second class ones.
