Integrating Europe was extremely difficult for both Britain and France.
After the financial crisis, the EU had been torn apart. Even Britain had left the union. Would they be returning at this point in time? Would the UK feel embarrassed?
There were 26 countries in the EU. Now, was it possible to let so many countries unify their standpoints, eliminate their internal differences and unite as one voice?
If Britain and France could comply and choose to remain undivided, it was difficult for the EU to not be given a veto with its strength as a whole.
As for Russia and India, the population of these two countries was surely enough, but their combined GDP was not even 8 trillion M-dollars. The mix would still be more than 12 trillion M-dollars away from achieving 20 trillion.
