I'd love to see Europe again becoming a beautifully decentralized region - with many shared values but no shared politicians.

Absolutely. Brexit proofed that this is a really great idea. Who doesn't want to start paying through the nose for roaming again?

The idea that just abandoning a thing with some issues is better than trying to repair it (or even just keep it as is), does not seem quite realistic today. Even the various national politicians who wanted to do a *xit before the UK did this have quietly dropped those ambitions.

Dumb laws exist globally. Don't expect this to go away if tomorrow it was all up to the national governments again. Collectively getting bad laws like these repealed or changed is much more likely though.
