Hardly. Abuse of power is easier the smaller the community in which it happens. Corrupting politicians on state level is much easier and buys you more power per pound than doing the same on EU scale. I much rather have ministers in Brussels decising my futures than the ones in the country I reside in.

Under the EU regime even if your own country doesn't want a proposal and your MEPs vote against it, it might still pass because of other foreign countries and be forced over you. How do you vote your way out of that?
