I can see this debate has moved to the realms of absurd lol.
Yes, the UK is low in corruption now and the EU has higher corruption. But when it governed by the EU corruption will increase, for no other reason other than a large government having to govern large areas will inevitably suffer from increased corruption.
If you ask me does this deter me from getting more involved with the EU, I would say no. I think that advantages would still outweigh the disadvantages.
...However, I would like the EU to be a bit more Democratic. |
You want an election for a meeting chair/PR guy?
|
That position wont be chairman forever though. The position has little power right now. However, the Lisbon treaty is a stepping stone for shifting more government power to the EU later on. So while the role may not be so important now, it will be more important in the future.

Et voila, Socialist dictatorship?

No, not at all, it wont lead to a socialist dictatorship, I never said that. I think it would lead to some kind of Republic style government based on Keynesian economic principles way off into the future (Which I would quite like tbh). But I know the position is small now and in the future we may get to vote for who chairs the EU, but the fact is power will shift towards the EU and I would like to vote for whoever is receiving the "potential" power.
