Well the European Union as it stands is not a democratic body. It's parliament does not initiate policy - therefore when candidates stand they can have no mandate to fight for. The unelected segments of the EU initiate policy that respective nations are bound to.

We need to co-operate and allow free trade, this benefits everyone. It's a shame the EU doesn't free up trade with Africa and other nations who are desperate to trade with us. Their economies would develop much faster if this was the case, but the EU is a roadblock. What we currently have is a Union that believes in a political, federal Europe. For which I do not subscribe.
