People sometimes positively argue that there are lots of reasons Great Britain should leave the EU and become a new State in the USA.
The EU is doing pretty well at the moment... should we invite a few of the states of the USA to leave and join the EU instead? I think the blue flag with a circle of gold stars flying over shops, house, and businesses in somewhere like Texas would be positively welcomed.

LOL, I once posted a question along those lines, but it involved separating the USA into 2 countries, Red states and Blue states. I was indicating the lack of unity and how Conservatives and Liberals were constantly at each other's throats. It was meant to be more of a joke, but I got some interesting responses.
But I seriously doubt that any but the most extreme left-wing nutcases would entertain that proposal with any sincerity. Our Socialists are merely "left-on-center" in Europe. While our Conservatives are would be thrown in jail in Europe for inciting the populace to revolt.

Good question, but in reality the only state in the US that can leave the Union of the USA is Texas, all other states cannot leave the Union. To a point you can think of each state as a little country forming the Union which is the USA. But if the state that I live in (Washington State) could leave the Union I would want to be more Aligned to a Asian Country than Europe. Not being anti-Europe but certain American states have more interest in Asia than Europe, and Asia is closer for me.

because it became into meant to be for eu international locations in basic terms, that could make the effort, and changing call, targets and agendas of the union. And to be effortless i don't think of too many Europeans might settle for that, not in the present political climate in any case.

A state that is part of the United States cannot secede from the Union. We proved that little bit of law back in 1865.

No. To join the EU, the state will have to be a nation and in Europe.

You are confused. Many think Britain should leave the EU and not join any union. Likewise America isn't going to join any union either. it only benefits the poor countries

No. And that's a laugh if some in Great Britain are seriously thinking the USA would ever allow the UK to become a state.

I am from Arizona , i would absolutely LOVE for say....the southwestern US to join the EU and no longer be a part of this idiotic country. a switch like that would have my vote and probably a majority of others. Texas would never do that though, they are trying there best to break away and become independent. AZ was one of the last to join (just in the last century) and i think we would have been better to join Mexico even there The United States. sorry i rambled a bit but i liked your question and definitely have an opinion on that!

It is a novel idea, and I am certain that Texans would jump at the chance, but the states in the US do not function independently on the level that you are suggesting.
