    An alternate would be new stores that only do European.

    I’d foresee a lot of potential with that, honestly. Stores that explicitly advocate themselves as having 100% European products, and can back it up.

    Eurofederalists would be happy because it gives the EU a stronger footing.

    Nationalists would be happy because it means their own country, or at least Europe, is largely represented.

    Ecologists would be happy because it’d mean less waste generally, in terms of transport.

    And so on…

      I just know that the main supermarkets in my country are actively lobbying the government and suing the competition to squash them. But hey, if we don’t try we lose by default.

        Ugh, this is exactly why we should abolish CEOs and require all former bosses to work the lowest paid job of their company for two years. Or they pay all people earning less than them the same wage (or more than them), and decline bonuses. And also don’t donate to politicians, direct or indirect.

        In return, former bosses who adhere to this, and snitch on other CEOs, get extra help.
