I think you'll find that is the way most democracies work. The electorate judge the performance of their Government and leaders at time of election. This essential scrutiny by the electorate of the EU government and EU leaders does not take place, ...

The thing about the USA is that Trump is democratically elected and democratically accountable to the electorate. If he fails to do a good job for the electorate, they have the chance to get rid of him. This is not true of the EU Government, they ...

The person appointed to the EU Government by each country is not democratically elected by the electorate of the country and is therefore not democratic in his/her appointment. The EU Government by your own evidence, is not democratically elected, ...

By any definition, the EU Government is not democratic and not democratically elected. The EU Parliament does not make the EU Government democratic or democratically elected. The EU Government is more akin to Authoritarianism Authoritarianism is ...

So based on what you just said, the EU Government is not directly elected by the EU electorate, not directly accountable to the EU electorate, never has to undergo the direct scrutiny of the EU electorate, is not bound to server the interests of the ...

I don't know whether I am or not, but I tend to look for more than one source to prove or disprove my thinking and here are a few who would disagree with you and the Norwegians. But once again you have failed to prove that the EU has any bearing on ...

Henry Kissinger, Barack Obama, Yasar Arafat and Fritz Haber also received the Nobel peace prize and none of them deserved it either. So once again, you have no proof the EU has been responsible for peace in Europe

As it happens I have no axe to grind on Brexit, I just dislike people being economical with the truth. Give the facts and let the facts stand up for themselves. I do understand about the UK joining the EC in 1972 and I understand that the British ...

You provided data, most of it irrelevant and still didn't manage to answer to question. You are the one who made the statements, failed to answer them and are now trying to deflect by saying you asked for proof. Let's focus on your original ...

<p></p> As I recall, you have yet to back your claims up with real information. I asked a civil question without resorting to abuse of any kind. Do you always call contributors "troll" when your argument has a hole blown in it. Does this somehow ...

The mistake you are making, is that you are only looking at the membership fees, the EU membership costs the UK considerably more than it membership fees. It seems odd that you need to go into a tirade about what other countries contribute to the EU ...
