And yet that is exactly what the soft middle class Left believe

Rubbish.

They want a continuation of the status quo without any leaps into

Well they're not going to get that, are they?

Stay in. Form pacts with other members and keep the commission on
a realistic rein.

This is not possible.
*Why not?

Because the MEPS have no legal powers over the commission

Which is a self selecting dictaorship
More rubbish.
Culled from the BBC....
The Commission plays a vital role in the EU. It is the body which
proposes new legislation, draws up the EU's annual budget and manages
and supervises EU funding. The Commission consists of 28 members, one
from each member state.
Its president is nominated by the national leaders and then elected
by the European Parliament by majority vote. Based on member states'
suggestions, the Commission's president selects 27 other members of
the Commission for a five-year period, each with a specific policy
portfolio.
The European Parliament must approve the Commission as a whole but
does not vote on individual commissioners. More importantly, any new
legislation proposed by the Commission still has to be agreed by the
member states and passed by the European Parliament, which is directly
elected by EU voters. The statement of unelected bureaucrats making
decisions in the EU is therefore somewhat misleading.
The point is that any new legislation has to be approved and can be
opposed by any member or group of member countries.

As I said. A self selectingf dictatorship.
The EU parliament cannot block legislation.

With which bit of the above do you disagree?






A lot more believable than the fiction of what remains of the UK
going* it alone in the world.

Oh please. If Iceland can go it alone in the world the UK certainly can
When did Iceland rank anywhere on global turnover statistics?


Please TIM, straw men are beneath you.
