This is correct. It is possible to have co-operation, trade and agreements of all sorts without having an additional layer of government (and a rather unaccountable form of government, at that).

That's quite a misleading argument.
A trade agreement, where it's "stay, or you'll lose access to everything", and which can't be renegotiated, is horrible for the young people.
What if I want to vote to change it, even just slightly? No chance.
With the EU, I can vote for a different party in the EU Parliamentary elections, and they can easily change it to the better.
Trade agreements are less democracy than even the EU.
Why is everyone telling this damn lie?
