Is the UK is Better Off Outside the EU?
The EEC was created as a trading partnership, good idea.
However, EU politicians, with very little experience of business, have used their power to make a political alliance, which is not the original intention.
Bureaucracy is not good governance.
The more senior place a politician achieves, the less the contact with real life and accountability. The UK's senior politicians have their manifest faults, but we can vote them out...which does not apply to the EU Commission.
Recent examples of the wastage within the EU, is the MEP's turning up to sign in for a days wages [£295] just like our UK peers...but we can work to rid ourselves of the House Of Lords - not the EU Commission.
The UK has regulators, but these are often controlled by the very people they're investigating. Nonetheless we have a reasonable standard of press reporting, and the truth will out.
Meanwhile in Brussels..
"Police seizures of suitcases stuffed full of cash are usually the result of crackdowns on crime gangs or drug lords. This time, though, the brick-like wads of €50 notes were found not by the vice squad, but by detectives investigating allegations of corruption in the European Parliament.
Brussels has been gripped this week by stories of an international bribery ring said to involve Qatar, Morocco and influential EU figures. Colossal sums of money have been found in the homes of some of the alleged recipients: €600,000 in bank notes at the home of an Italian politician, €150,000 tucked into the luxury luggage of a Greek socialist MEP, and hundreds of thousands more in the possession of her father.
In all, more than €1.5 million (£1.3m) has been seized in raids on 19 locations in the Belgian capital and in Italy, some of which were in the Parliament itself.
The investigation centres on claims that Qatar tried to buy influence in order to help secure an “open skies” deal that would give its airlines unfettered access to EU markets and airspace. It is, without question, the biggest bribery scandal in the history of the European Union’s institutions, and it could well get much worse, with reports that up to 60 MEPs could be dragged into it. "
