I think you'll find France is very proud to be a part of the EU. EU flags everywhere, side by side with le tricolor. I hardly see any in the UK in comparison.

There is much less of the us vs. them mentality here which makes the EU feel more like the union that it is and it feels the complete opposite when I'm back in England. At this present moment I don't feel there's much to be proud of in Britain when compared with the rest of the western countries in the EU.

The rule of law was not started by Magna Carta. The ancient Roman republics, at least, tried a version of it. It's a bit rich to write that "many countries in which the rule of law is established owe that fact to their colonial predecessors" when colonialism itself, was, ahem, not always legal - at least not according to the laws of the countries being invaded to establish it!
