If you thought your party was undemocratic and corrupt would you be happy to stay in it? I think not, I hope not.
'Splendid isolation'! Separating ourselves from an undemocratic, corrupt organisation(your words) - why not?
The top brains behind the Union could see that eventualy financial mis-matches would eventually create the need for a fiscal and political union controlled by Brussels and being fair to them they never hid their target- a United States of Europe!

I think it was me(not Bernard...he was just quoting me) who said it was corrupt and undemocratic...which it is....if the electorate has no power of veto, no power to vote in the people who make the legislation....then it is undemocratic.
What is the point of having a Parliament in this country, supposedly making the laws and policies if we have to bow down to what Brussels thinks is right?
I can see no way of making it democratic, because the will is not there to do so......as for the corruption....huge organisations(which the EU undoubtedly is) are notoriously difficult to police when it comes to corruption.
