A good argument, and one I hadn't considered. At the same time, diluting the authority of states is a 3rd rail. Even under the EU, the authority of individual municipalities and regional divisions increased rather than decreased (why you see more ads for Catalonia than you do for Spain, for example).

I recognize the problem, but the solution is politically untenable to say the least.
