<p>From Rudolf Misset, Amsterdam, the Netherlands :</p> <p>Mr Verhofstadt is mistaken, as I pointed out on <a href="http://rudolfmisset.web-log.nl/rudolfmisset/2009/12/franse-presiden.html" class="spip_url spip_out auto" rel="nofollow external">http://rudolfmisset.web-log.nl/rudolfmisset/2009/12/franse-presiden.html</a> [in Dutch]. There will be no federal 'United States of Europe', as Guy Verhofstadt writes in his thus entitled book.</p> <p>The name 'United States of America' is wrong as well. Being a federation, the USA is just one sovereign state. The different European sovereign states may call their future union the <i> <strong>'United States of Europe'</strong> </i> but that union will be a <i> <strong>confederation</strong> </i>.</p> <p>See as well <a href="http://rudolfmisset.blogspot.com" class="spip_url spip_out auto" rel="nofollow external">http://rudolfmisset.blogspot.com</a> [in French] for confederation/federation and sovereignty/autonomy.</p>

<p>In practical terms, EU citizens need to know the parties and candidates to vote for, if they want to support Verhofstadt.</p>
