gschjetne Do you find offensively trying to answer your own comments on my behalf is acceptable? I contend it says much of your lack of understanding of any concept of democracy.

In speaking of % of those wishing to hugely alter The corrupt dishonest and communist styled EU strangely named EUroSceptics by the EU itself the majority is undeniable. Of those wishing to LEAVE the EU in Britain it would seem to be a narrow majority.

If you wish to continue the discusion by all means ask questions!!

[gschjetne]

I mean of course minority, sorry about that.

[gschjetne]

And what is your definition of a free and informed vote?

Of course, one with an outcome that suits you.

The Eurosceptics are still in a very small majority against the liberals, greens, socialists and conservatives. I take it that was not a free and informed vote, then.

gschjetne No the FACT that every time there has been a free and informed vote by the peoples, in what ever grouping, they have voted AGAINST what the central dictatorship of the EU has wanted to do and has then subsequently done contra the wishes of the peoples. Consider The New Constitution voted against by the French & the Dutch - the only informed people allowed a vote! Then repackaged exactly the same with a new name & voted against by the Irish who are being made to vote again! Democracy!!

[gschjetne]

So the national democracies have failed because the eurosceptics fail to make their countries withdraw? Or European democracy has failed because the eurosceptics fail to disband the EU?

It's only a democracy as long as everyone agrees with YOU.

kangurupt with respect - surely you must be ashamed of the patronising clap trap of Margot Wallstrom, Jose Barroso, Martin Schultz, Peter Mandelson, Graham Watson, and the many other self serving crass parasites that milk the tax payers of The Vassal States of the obscene EU. Surely you must be ashamed at the dishonest machinations and misrepresentations these grubby little men & women perform to enforce such crass and damaging concepts as The Lisbon so called Treaty on the unwilling peoples.

brommaman40 Do try very hard to show a single solitary benefit of the existence of the obscene concept of a centralised, increasingly militarised, communist styled undemocratic EUropean supra national empiric state - just one that begins to justify the huge damage, loss of freedom, liberty, sovereignty and self determination one need only look at the financial costs and the lunacy of Gallileo project which is a complete failure yet still continues just like the bankrupt Airbus or EASE What Gain?

[Greg260146]

gschjetne Your comment is really funny - do re-read it and you will realise that you are defining the complete failure of democracy. You even claim that to try to democratically campaign in the EU's pretend parliament is undemocratic!!! Just what kind of democracy does that make the obscene and communist style EU?

The EU offers no democracy in concept or principle - there is no debate and no meaningful vote even amongst the corrupt politicians.

[gschjetne]

If withdrawal from the EU is what they want, why do they even bother running for the EP?

I respect their political opinion, if they ever form a majority government in their own country, then fine, withdraw from the EU. The only thing they can do in the EP is obstructing the democratic process, and that is despicable.
