TN Warry - I don't doubt your figure of 65% of Brits wanting out of the EU
What % of that figure would you say are prepared to do anything about it?
Niall - if you are someone sitting in your house wondering where this months mortgage is coming from, the gas & electric is going up 20/30%,
the kids need new clothes for school next fortnight, car needs an MOT & redundancy threatens, worrying about the EU is a looong, looong way down on your priority list. Not even on the same sheet of paper:-):-)

Anyway, a question cropped up in my mind and I thought I would ask.

For lack of a better way to word this I'll just ask.. How do most people from the UK feel about the EU slowly gaining control over your country? ...

I think it's difficult to say how "most people" feel about the takeover as most people don't really understand that it is happening. It has been our mainstream political parties intention they should belive that the EU is no worse than an irritant in their lives, and I've got past my amazement that most people have actually swallowed this line whole.

From my own pov, I'm opposed to Britain's being a part of the European Union, unless of course the majority of my countrymen signal in a referendum that they are in favour of it - after a honest debate about it really entails. I'd need a lot of convincing that it is in the people's interests. Evidence so far more than suggests it is not imo. And I don't believe that a government covering more half a billion people could ever be democratic even if it wanted to be.
