Of course the EU is also free to spend its money in any way it sees fit as well, the simple reality is that while the vote was "democratic" and all it was somewhat pointless as the measure will be enacted through the weight of other European nations.
I have to wonder why the UK is in the EU at all, clearly its support base lies on mainland Europe and I strongly expect thats who will eventually make it work. The easiest option to me would be for the UK to go off on its own, the EU can apply taxes on British products crossing the channel and everyone will be happy its not like either party actually needs the other.
And for the record I don't care who's website news comes from as long as it is credible. |
Well - the French have rejected the treaty, the Dutch have done likewise, and now the Irish. Given the chance, people continue to demonstrate that they are against this stealthy creeping Federalism. By EU rules, just one of these results was to have killed the treaty. But like Mugabe, they choose to dismiss democratic votes.
The EU is a corrupt gravy train, with MEPs grabbing $700,000 per year, in salaries etc alone + gold- plated pensions. And the money you mention goes two ways believe me.
If you do not not care for democracy, then the EU is fine for you.
Apart from that, I tend to agree with your suggestions and your choice of website, on which I coplimented you earlier. I recommend the javno Naked News video.
