well that's the crux nevertheless, political awareness, there's maybe times to be campanilistic, and times to look bigger, and those who can, can work it out to be extra advantageous to themselves; unity, of course, has to be built especially in this moment, after europe self destroyed in two bloody internecine wars due to nationalistic "concerns"(which ultimately turned out disastrous especially for the allies and especially england, showing the negative side to nationalism), it's time for the latter, we are already basically irrelevant on an international state and a little vassal of the usa, every single country in europe has basically no future as a relevant world player by itself of course, again, this unity hasn't to be confused with its mockery/monkey, uniformity, we ought not to seek european uniformity which is what the eu effectively does, but integration based on a common super national interest hopefully not based on the the current cultural/social trajectory
