The main problem that I see with EU policy that it is usually drafted in
such a way that most of the members countries can ignore it, or just pay
lip service to it, whereas in the the UK politicians and civil servants
gold plate and add their own addenda items making it much more onerous.

Sure, but it makes a lot more sense to do things the way
Norway does it and decide what to do policy wise than to
let some unelected bureaucrat have any say what so ever on
anything at all. That's not what a real democracy is about.

And Norway has had their votes decide a number of times
that they prefer to keep doing it that way instead of joining
the EU.

So I wont be crying foul, blaming anyone, or doing any
dummy spit or throwing anything out of any pram or
lying about what I would do if the vote didnt go the
way I wanted it to go and pretend that I had to be
dragged kicking and screaming against my will into
doing the opposite of what I said I would do either.

The most I will do is have confirmed what I have known
for well over half a century now, that the absolute vast
bulk of the voters vote on the most superficial basis
if they even bother to vote at all and that its hardly
surprising that you get some pretty silly results.

They do sometimes get it right tho like they did
when they gave Churchill the bums rush at the
ballot box very unceremoniously indeed just after
the war had ended. And when they gave Blair
and the Brown one the bums rush when
they had so obviously ****ed up so badly.
