I live in the UK, so can comment ;-) The thing that I spot about the EU is that is is often used as a scapegoat. When individual countries (or often the media) wants to shift blame it is convenient. This comes about because citizens of each country identify more with their own country than with the EU. (Note: I believe that the EU does a lot of good, but it'll never be my country) Perhaps the parallel is that a Struts 'citizen' identifies more with the Struts 'country' than the Jakarta 'union'. Of course one key difference is that we don't have the individual governments at the country/Struts level.
