no resemblance to the EU now. Tony Blair promised us a referendum. Didn't happen.

The EU commissioners who initiate new laws for Euro MPs to vote on are not elected. The EU president doesn't have a single vote from the people on the street, represents the interest of over half a billion people. You tell me How the people of Britain can use democracy to change laws made by the EU? They can't. Of course our democracy has been undermined. Barely anyone can name their MEP. There is no connection with the people, no way to change what they don't like. They never voted for this. It is corrupt to the very core.
