The European Union does not consist of all of European countries, so European Union citizenship does not unite all of Europe. Even in the European Union countries, each country has its own specific citizenship, as opposed to one single European Union citizenship. You are only a European Union citizen if you are a citizen of one of the European Union countries. There is no European Union citizenship by itself.
All European Union countries have democratic governments.
People do not join the European Union. Countries do. It is an organisation of countries, not of people. As a result of countries joining, people are living in countries that are in the European Union and can be called its citizens.
