Besides which, how can it change? Will it really throw out all the eastern european bankrupt countries that the EU are propping up in the hope of future trading opening up? Will it abolish the plans for a pan european army? Will it abandon plans to create a european superstate? Will it implement changes so as to make it a democratic entity, rather than a pan-national bureaucracy? Will to go back to what we joined - ie a trading bloc of similar economic strength nations? Will it ****.
The EU has evolved into something that it was not designed for by its founders, or indeed its subsequent joiners up to "10". thereafter it has slowly gone off the rails, allowing admission of weakling economies who are simply a drain on the centre. Introducing plans to reinvent itself as something it was not designed to be by seeking political and full fiscal union.
Change, you're having a laugh. the only thing more difficult than getting the EU to change would be to get the UK trains to run on time
