I know you don't want an EU, but if it has to be (which, let's face it, is the case), surely you'd prefer Strasbourg gaining powers over Brussels?
I like the way the that the only part of the EU you want, is the part that doesn't actually exist. The EU is so far from a "common market" it's actually ridiculous. You need to have some major changes like a common currency, a common language, as well as other things like having the same plug socket, driving on the same side of the road, the same definitions of chocolate and bananas, etc.
