This is a normal post In case you've forgotten
The EEC was a good thing. It's grown in to the EU, which isn't.
The EU is run solely for the benefit of politicians.

We had a referendum over here a few weeks ago re. an EU treaty. It was soundly thrashed. The political reaction so far has been 'sod the electorate, we go ahead anyway'.

You have a chance to change that. Unlike any of the other poor sods trapped in the EU, you actually get to have a say in this. As it was 76 years ago, we Dutch once again look to the west in the hope of liberation. The UK leaving would open the floodgates and end this political powerfest.

Forget the bs about the economy or migration, nobody knows exactly how that's going to pan out, and anyone whos says they do, lies. This is about sovereignty. Nothing more, nothing less.
Take the power back.

This is a normal post As set of politicians that you can actually elect or send home every five years.
Massive difference, that.

This is a normal post Our whole second chamber is entirely unelected
There is no mechanism to send them home, even if they're corrupt, even if they're so mad they cant do their job anymore

This is a normal post how does having another level of bureaucracy on top of that help?

This is a normal post The set of politicians that actually care about being re-elected by the UK populace?
The ones that got the largest amount of votes in local elections?

The ones that attend surgery's and have to meet with the voters to discuss issues?

Those politicians that are within egg throwing range?

Too bloody right.

This is a normal post you dont think your Euro MPs care about being reelected?
They certainly got the largest amount of votes, and in a much fairer, more proportional voting system

This is a normal post Yeah... shame they don't have any actual power.
Seeing how EU law is made by the commission. The EU parliament is a pointless and rather expensive sharade.

This is a normal post Don't get too excited
If 30% turn-out with 60% voting against the trade agreement means a sound thrashing that means Cameron soundly thrashed Labour last year. Oh, wait....
