I honestly don’t care if the UK joins the EU army or not. They are doing everything we would want anyway, and I doubt they would stand on the side if anyone attacked us.
When it comes to hosting an army, in troubled times, it’s either ours or our enemies’.
I would like to see an updated polling on this. My guess is +20% across the board.
Putin and Trump may try to divide us, but to paraphrase a cinematic masterpiece:
*Europe together strong*
Spain 🤝
But why is there no result for Portugal?
Do we have any more recent polls regarding this? would be interesting to have something from 2024
UK try not to be 50/50 on every issue challenge: impossible
How would people want this to work? An entirely new purely supranational organisation? Or each country sends 50% of their troops?
It seems that we all agree for some time already, and probably we agree more than ever now, why don’t we make it happen asap?
How can we push this? I was looking for some of these petitions that it can be discussed in the Eu parliament. There is one that you need a million ppl from 7 countries, but i couldn’t start one.
I love Denmark numbers 🙂
They were always trying to suck up daddy US. Now they are getting “thanks for your service!” treatment!
Some other countries could learn a lot from that.
How people could oppose this at this time is beyond my comprehension
where are Belgium,Luxembourg,Portugal … ?
There’s a reason such polls are almost only done with the Eurobarometer, and even then, often only with vague language, such that the 2022 result here is genuinely relatively fresh data:
Because those that would normally pay for such polls at this scale, the states, the parties in power within them, and their associated orgs, know that they would get massively pro-integration results, and they want to continue to ignore the self-evident call to action.
I wonder what is is now
a lot has changed since 2022, is there a 24/25 variant?
First thing EU needs is a shared procurement strategy to simplify procurement and logistics/supply chain. EU army would be a logistical nightmare with how many different vehicles and other equipment there is now, even if they mostly use same calibres.
What would be even better is for the existing defence industry companies that work on the same equipment to merge and create one “mega company” that has multiple production lines across the EU instead of constantly going against each other for qualified personnel, resources and sales.
Why post old data?
Brexit was also a good idea, right fellas? Grow a spine. Pretty please. A german friend.
The problem I have with an EU army as a Brit is what happens to the commonwealth?
If Guyana got attacked by Venezuela tomorrow I’m pretty sure Britain would get involved.
However — would the EU army? Too many European countries would say “that has nothing to do with us”.
I am surprised by the large support in Hungary, despite them continuing to elect Orban.
Why are we even in this poll? We’ve lost any right to decide what the EU does and doesn’t do?
Probably higher now.
whats the wording of the question asked?
2022 is mid covid still. The huge political changes didn’t happen yet
Deus vult
Now, let’s do that poll again.
That’s right we got our own army we want our army back
I’m assuming Ireland isn’t on the list because neutral country? I don’t think we should get in the way of the rest of the EU forming a joint army if that’s desired though, and tbf we wouldn’t make a huge dent eitherways.
I remember my Dad taking part in something called Operation Lionheart back in the early 80’s that was some kind of military exercise involving British troops and other nations and when they came back the European forces had collectively agreed to call the Americans “The Enemy” because they were so incompetent that the European forces found them dangerous to be around.
I am surprised Spain and Netherlands are so high, I always looked at Spain as “uninterested”… yet France that is considered biggest proponent is just 55% (I guess in other hand ratio of for and against quite good 2+:1). Yet Germany, which is seen as biggest blocker to the idea is above France?! I guess this shows that what politicians want often does not translate to what people actually want. Another surprise is Hungary, just show that orbantard is fringe extremist and not representative of the country.
Obviously, Baltics and Poland being strongly supportinve is not surprising.
This already exists in embryonic form as the Joint Expeditionary Force.
Lol, Hungary probably wants an army to fight off the EU.
Why would you not support your own countries army
They hear the word European and vote no
We need an EU army, there is no choice left. War is coming, if we like it or not.
UK being in opposition is disappointing, but it’s important to note the 10% increase since 2021. That’s not insignificant & a sign that things are heading in the right direction.
It’s just a shame that it took Brexit, Putin’s aggression & America’s insanity to get things heading in that direction.

Do a poll today support will be off the charts
