Where did you ever get the idea that we could 'change the EU' to make it more palatable, more democratic, more UK-friendly?Have you ever held the view that we can renegotiate our position within the group?
Have you ever thought that the EU is reformable? Has it been suggested that we could be 'part of the EU whilst keeping a part of ourselves outside it'?
Did you ever get the idea that the 'EU is just a bit of a pest - but with a bit of sorting it would be alright?
Did the same people who put these ideas into your head never tell you that acquis commaunitaire - the ratchet principle, if you prefer - simply NEVER permits backtracking. Once a power has been taken from a nation state, it may NEVER be returned.
These are the actions of a dictatorship - one which now puts well over 70% of the laws onto our statute books - not with parliamentary scrutiny, even. [What difference would it make, anyway? - They are unstoppable]
There is a parliamentary group called The European Scrutiny Committee which is totally toothless.
If never before, perhaps you now grasp what is being done to us. Two commissioners and less than 9% of the total MEPs in Brussels - The EU can do to our people WHATEVER it pleases, WHENEVER it pleases and our voting CANNOT stop it!
So, who lied and told you that the EU is 'controllable'? - The CONservatives, I'm afraid.
Labour and Lib Dems are marginally more honest - they at least keep a low profile.
