I don't think anyone actually wants a superstate, including me. But liberal trade regimes, which I do want, pose questions that eventually have to be answered. Do you really want that iPhone if you know that the Chinese teenager making it is cutting eight years off her life because of the conditions she's working in? Or how does that loss of eight years compare to how well and long she would have lived if she was still stuck in her tiny village? It was in trying to work out the complications of liberalised trade and borders that the EU faltered.
