To be clear, I think both unions are a good idea, or neither are. You can’t pick and choose though - the arguments for one are largely the arguments for the other.

Your statistics are also trivially falsifiable by simple counterexample - the town I lived and voted in during the 2016 EU membership referendum is not London, or the London area, is in England, and voted remain by 57.9% to 42.1%. The major city next door did so by an even more overwhelming margin: 61.7% to 38.3%. Not too many Welsh or Scottish nationalists in either…

So you’ll no doubt forgive me for not taking you too seriously when you spout horse shit dressed up as thoughtfulness.

By the way, I do indeed consider anyone born within the borders of the geographic boundary of Europe to be European, just like anyone born in the United States of America is American. The only arguments against such ideas are dog whistles (or let’s face it, full on soccer whistles at this point).
