'The EU ELECTIONS are not democratic : In a real democracy every vote has the same weight.
38,000 votes are needed in Luxemburg to chose an MEP. Thats 16 times more political clout than a German voter where 628,000 are needed !'
Germany is a much bigger country, if only 38,000 votes were needed in germany to get in an MEP they would have well over 100 MEP's alone, we need to keep MEP's minimal while still representing europe fairly, its all about balancing size with No of MEP's.
The EU is not perfert, but either is any democratic process, look at ours in Britain, Labour recieved 35% of the popular vote yet have over 50% of the MP's, that is far more unfair.
I just watched a feature on Euronews about working in foreign countries. It was as worthy of the title "news" as Tom & Jerry. Dull, bland, droning propaganda which would make Goebals or Stalin look subtle by comparison. We're not living in the 1930s anymore so quit all this crap.
The EU flag and anthem is a fraud against every EU country. The European people have been lead behind the light by their own governm, and are now trapped in the EU straitjacket.
We know whats the best for the European people Everybody are equal Lets control the production Lets say that the EU has been a success
Great achievements have been made in countries with free markets less governmental controls strong democracy. I hope you dont waste your vote on June 4th. Go UKIP!
If citizens vote for the "WAI D" Your decision party. Citizens will be in charge.
Only one commitment.
The candidates of the movement, if elected as MEPs, will undertake at their own expense the creation of an internet site where citizens will have the chance to express, their own opinions.
The citizen will have the opportunity to propose laws and amendments and to give orders directly to their own MEP, putting to the vote of other citizens their own proposals and ideas.
European citizens are not prepared to give up their autonomy only to be told how to live their lives by a small group of un-elected,unacountable,over-paid and permanent `commissioners´ .
This attempted coup ´d etat is against international law.
UN Covernant on Civil and Political Rights :
Article 1 : All peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic and cultural development.
That's why there will be free elections for the European Parliament in which both eurosceptical and pro-European parties will participate.
This parliament will also have the right to dismiss the European commission as a whole or prevent individual commissioners from being appointed. So the commission is in fact fully accountable to the European Parliament and therefore to the European people. It is true that individual commissioners are not elected, but ministers in countries aren't either.
1.Today 75% of `national´ law originates from an un-elected commission in Brussels.
2.When the infamous Lisbon Treaty/Constitution is in effect this will become 99.9% of law based on a `treaty´ that the French,Dutch and Irish have already VOTED AGAINST and Germany,Austria and the UK would VOTE AGAINST if `allowed ´ the opportunity
by Brussels !
3.The Treaty/Constitution is `self-amending ´ which means it can be changed at will WITHOUT consulting national governments !
1. The figure of 75% is a fairy tale. That the commission is un-elected is correct, but so are the Federal Cabinet in Germany or the national Cabinet in the Netherlands.
2. According to the new treaty the European parliament will have to right to vote on 99.9% of the laws propose by commission and council.
3. These change would be made by the parliament , council and commission together. The council consist completely of representatives from national governments.
If the `figure of 75% is a fairy tale´,then the President of the EU parliament....is a frog prince :
`If we were not that influential today,then we would not be the legislator of 75% of all laws in Europe,and with the Lisbon Treaty in nearly 100% of all cases´.
(Hans-Geert Pöttering responding to President Klaus`speech in the EU parliament)
See also : Dan Hannan adresses Pottering (and rebukes him for breaking the parliament's own rules).
'laws in Europe' by this the President meant the laws enacted by the European Union. In 25% Union regulation can be passed without consent from the European Parliament with the lisbon treaty this will be brought back to 0%. This is what Pöttering meant. He was speaking about a percentage of Union legislation not about 'national laws' as you stated.
wow, europe can hold a 'europe wide' election for the parliment but not when it comes to the lisbon treaty, bunch of cowards, Come on europe, you want the respect of your citizens, hold a vote for the lisbon treaty, EU constitution !

2.Europeans were never asked if they wanted an EU parliament & an un-elected legislative.
3.Most Europeans (in recent polls) do NOT WANT the EU to be given more power.
4.Why plan for a European army unless the EU is to become an `Empire ´(Barrosso).
Don't vote

I think England should have the right to leave the EU. That would be a great relief for the rest of us.
