Despite UKIP's wild claims, the amount of UK legislation originating in
the EU is anything from 15% to 50%, depending upon how you define your
criteria. In practice, a high proportion of that legislation would have
been passed into UK law in similar form even if it had not been EU
legislation and some, such as regulations about tobacco and olive
growing, have little or no effect in the UK.


So 50% of legislation coming from an unelected source not having your
best interests at heart is a good thing?

Then who's interests do they have at heart?

the usual suspects, Big business and the political class.

IN the old SovBloc government owned big business. In the EU big business
owns the government.

You will buy what you are permitted to buy. You will pay whatever taxes
are demanded of you. You will not have the power to exercise chequebook
democracy, because all services that you need (as defined by the EU)
will be provided for you. Any savings you have will be taken from you
because you are obviously a rich toff. Anything that is not provided
you don't need. Because the EU is perfect and you are a ****.
