An excuse to eliminate elections (the direction the EU is headed on important issues).
It would never work in Germany. Their Federal Constitutional Court is far more independent than in Poland, and any attempt to fiddle with things like this would provoke a hell of a reaction from many different Germans.
Remember, the EU is only represented by the member states. We don't have a confederal structure yet, so the EU represents the wishes of the member states. In fact, I'd argue that it's the member states reluctance to embrace the EU properly is what causes the current democratic deficit - France being particularly guilty of this.
What can they do? Automation and outsourcing are going to eliminate most unskilled jobs.
This is the big question. Having said that, someone will always have to do the rotten work for the locals. It's quite easy to imagine the rise of a Muslim underclass that exists solely to serve their German masters.
