United Kingdom (The term United States of Europe was used by Winston Churchill in his speech delivered on 19 September 1946 at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. In this speech given after the end of the Second World War, Churchill concluded that: We must build a kind of United States of Europe. In this way only will hundreds of millions of toilers be able to regain the simple joys and hopes which make life worth living. However, in the final paragraphs of this speech, it is clear that Churchill envisioned a United States of Europe without the participation of Britain, which together with the British Commonwealth would coexist with other powers such as mighty America, and I trust Soviet Russia. Before the Second World War, Churchill favoured an isolationist attitude towards continental Europe. On 15 February 1930, Churchill commented in the American journal The Saturday Evening Post that a European Union was possible between continental states but without Britains involvement:) -(Wikipedia)- still the plan? hope the time will change it :) (read the comment list for more) youtube/watch?v=x9_vhYpR9xo
