Thats interesting, but the last time I checked, the EU creates laws that
trump the laws of individual states. ( Even if the state forever delays
implementation of EU law into local law).

What kind of citizen wants an entity that can do that to be undemocratic?
I'll tell you: amoral corporate officers who feel they can have an easier
time influencing the decisions of a supra national quango than those of a
parliament.

I'm very pro Europe, but the current state of the EU is totally
inexcuseable. I'm sick of defending such a vile mess to the xenophobes
that populate my country - I wish I had something much better to defend.
