We call that a functioning democracy. The EU is the opposite of that.
EU: "You have to accept our way, even if you don't want it and it's bad for your country. It's for the good of our global group."

- lovich 10y agoIf you keep following that logic then the UK isn't being democratic either. Its bad for our province, its bad for our neighborhood, its bad for our street, its bad for our house, its bad for me, but you still have to follow it. The line has to be drawn somewhere when there is a government. Drawing the line at a country level as opposed to an international level is a perfectly valid opinion to have, but I don't think its right to call the UK a functioning democracy and the EU the opposite
- ionised 10y agoA functioning democracy also requires an educated and well-informed populace. The UK absolutely does not hve that.
- Angostura 10y agoTo me it just sounds like you don't like the Commission much. When you say 'the EU' most of the direction is set by the elected ministers of the member states.
