Interesting – though you have the connected-vessels problem that the more potential power it has, the more its field of action will be constrained. t.co/sdNo7W7Wxr
I agree that treaty changes are needed, but they probably need to emerge from a broad process in the Conference (particularly the citizen parts where I suspect citizens will want a more streamlined Europe than nation state governments do).
I think if we get stuck on treaty changes as the goal, rather than the treaty as a mechanism to bring about particular policy and governance goals for Europe, we end up with something that inspires 600 people in Brussels and no-one else.
