I won't caracterise nigel farage in the UK as being entirely of sound mind but he was single minded in his political career. He highlighted this very strongly to the british people and several political lobies within the UK which is why there was background political support for a referrendum. There was, and is, a feeling of being cut out of the loop with regard to the EP not having enough powers to override the EC which has only really grown in strength since it was founded, which is a shame. I'm guessing the point of this was to introduce checks/balances but instead it's been open to abuse and ended up with the EC weilding most of the power whilst jumping on planes and visiting most of the Euopean high-life travelling in limos through the slums. (And by that I encourage anyone to visit Brussles and walk around 5miles from where the EU decides to sit to see an example of a bit of an ivory tower) I'm not for a moment saying voting in all countries is correct, I'm not saying first past the post is the only system. But there was little ability for EC members. It's the EP who broadly have their hands tied and are intended to be the ones who go back to their citizens and get voted out of position very quickly when things go wrong.
