Not everybody would agree that the EU has prevented war. Many (perhaps most) would say that NATO has ensured peace.

It is difficult to accept the idea that all EU members are effective democracies. The UK, which operates a first past the post system, has a labour government with a majority of 60 seats in the parliament. A calculation of individual votes cast results in an actual majotiry of only 30,000 votes.
If you wish to live in a region called malta in the State of Europe then you will get your wish. Personally I can not understand why 220 million residents of Europe seem prepared to give up sovereignty to an unelected and unchallengable commission that are intent on a federal Europe.
