There are a couple of issues with that idea :

- Putting everything under the EU flag is contraversial here - UK is 50/50 on we like / dislike the EU. I think it needs major reform and cutbacks, not a stupid new expensive palace for the unelected president.

- Putting everything under the EU flag historically would be tricky as the EU has grown since the 1980s by quite a bit.

- I would need data. If there is a source where it can be downloaded I could attempt to use my "l33t data skillz" on it. Can I reiterate that I really really really .... really hate excel and I haven't had time to learn R - yet.

But I do know databases.
