The UK did not vote for the EU, in the 70′s the UK voted for the common market, or free trade agreement. They did not vote for increasing political union.

There has been no further referendum, and the Parliament continues to agree to European measures without such referendum because they no they are not in line with the majority of the UK population.

Furthermore the key decision makers, the Council of Europe and the European Commission are far from democratic, they are not voted in or out of office – they have no accountability. The parliament, which people vote for has no real power.

Actually the UK voted for it, twice. You also regularly take part in the European elections and the current elected European Parliament belongs to the leading forces in the EU in the surge for stricter privacy laws. Of course in case you belong to those who haven’t voted in these elections you should better keep your mouth shut or otherwise risk looking like a hypocrite.

The EU has just decided to overturn a Norwegian law which prohibits broadcasters loacted in other (EU) countries from targeting Norwegian customers with ads for products containing alcohol (such ads are illegal in Norway and may TV-stations set up offices outside Norway throgh which to broadcast just to get around Norways strict advertisement laws).

Yet the EU complains when companies target EU citizens while “broadcasting” from outside the EU to get around EUs strict privacy laws.

So EU, which is it? Have your cake, or eat it?
