The Mayor said that the US would never dream of engaging in an arragement similar to the EU.
It would never create a federation of states with a common currency, free trade and freedom of movement, and a mix of centralised and sovereign powers?
No, probably not.

The problem with the EU situation is it's unlikely to be resolved to a tight knit federation. If you don't believe in a Federal Europe, don't belong to the common currency and your population dislikes the freedom of movement (which is a debatable point, since we have more citizens in Europe than European immigrants) then why stay committed to a looser union that may be forced to try and resolve to a tighter federal union.
So Boris is right, the US wouldn't sign up to a halfway house as they already have the complete package. They also wouldn't join a federation with S. America and Canada.
There is a distinct possibility that the next phase of the EU and Euro will be a need to create Federal Europe brought on by the effects of a single currency.

johnson, cameron, goldsmith... the masks are slipping and the inherent racism of the tories is on display for all to see.
What's amazing is that johnson thinks the President of the USA gives a flying fuck about anything a mediocre, know-nothing bigot like johnson says.
