They want to take us out of the EU for a start.

They probably should - we are getting hamstrung in way too many central
dictacts.

I thought we joined the EU for the common market, not the dictatorship
that the EU has developed into.
THAT's what a *lot* of people are miffed about.
The EU has been a dripping tap, slowly but surely getting more and more
powers over us.

Much of that power comes from the Single Europe Act, which was very
strongly promoted by the British Government, so we were quite
instrumental in the EU becoming what it is today.

Yes, but the vast majority of the EU laws that have been added, have
been decided by our politicians. Did we get a vote on the landslide of
EU laws? It feels like the vast majority of the laws have been imposed
on us and we HAVE to accept them because Brussels says so and the EU
knows best (apparently).
In effect, we pay billions each year to overpaid ******* who tell us
what's best for us.
