> You should be very concerned about our House of Lords... I think that's ridiculous, though they don't affect much. Waste of money. Not really with the Monarchy, as they aren't affecting anything at all. > but I feel confident making such a statement as anybody who has spent more than 20 minutes researching how the EU works would know that it's folly to say that they're "unelected authoritarians". Why would you assume that? Because I am an immigrant? How progressive. FYI you're wrong. What a shock. > the very idea of a united EU is the opposite of fascism One fundamental characteristic of Fascism is the centralisation of power in the state, and control/partnership with the private sector (which acts both for itself and for the benefit of the state). This is core to the EU. The logical conclusion of the EU project is a larger, more powerful government. It can't move into a different direction. Are you aware of the thread that you're into? You can't possibly be missing the irony, but it seems you are. > The distance between Luxembourg and London is less than the distance between London and Glasgow.. "far away" can also mean culturally, and BTW I'm not in favour of London governing anything in Glasgow either. But that wouldn't fit into your preconceptions, would it? > but you're certainly misinformed. Why would you assume I don't already know everything that you said? I know: because you might be a bit arrogant. That is very apparent. Just so you know, you contradicted yourself: The EU commission is made of UNELECTED people. They are the ones who draft the laws. Being appointed by someone does not mean elected, it means precisely being unelected. How silly does one have to be to try to twist the basic meaning of accountability in government? Now, even if they had been elected directly, the people making laws, or voting on said laws, or influencing policy that affects my country were elected somewhere else. Nobody outside a given sovereign body should have a say in anything policy-wise within it.
