Theyre not allowed to initiate legislation: its all decided for them in advance by a panel of commissioners who havent been elected by anybody. All Parliament can do is say yes or no. If its no, they just keep bringing it back until its yes. Its the way they have to do everything in the European Union because they dont actually have the consent of the people they purport to govern.

And this means that our laws in Britain are made by people who have not been elected and cant be removed by popular vote. Dictatorship by any other name. We can dress it up in fancy progressive terms like integration and harmonization but if the unelected commissioners in Brussels decide that something is going to become law in Britain, it becomes law.

And theres nothing our Parliament can do about it because the people in it have signed away their power and ours and left us at the mercy of an illegitimate regime that has no democratic mandate from anybody and has never even bothered to seek one.

i agree

So why should we bother voting in this election if this Parliament is so weak and useless? Because the only people in it with any moral legitimacy are the ones who would vote to abolish it, given the chance, and the more of them we can elect the better. Independence parties are rising in the polls all over Europe and with good reason.

A vote for any one of them will send a message to the people whove stolen our democracy that were serious about taking it back. Personally, Ill be voting for the UK Independence Party. Now, you may not agree with all of their policies (I certainly dont) but if you believe, as I do, that nothing is more important, politically, than government by consent,

there is literally nobody else in Britain to vote for. Our establishment politicians and senior civil servants have sold us out to an anti-democratic superstate a new Soviet Union in the making because it suits their careers to belong to an exclusive political club with all the other important well-paid careers and their massive taxpayer-funded pensions. And its costing us more than fifty million pounds a day to suit them, their careers and their pensions.

why not bnp?

Don't be stupid.

Big business loves mass immigration because it drives down wages for the poorest people while not driving down directors dividends. They call it healthy competition but its about as healthy and as moral as a c*ckfight. Meanwhile, small business suffocates under an avalanche of unnecessary, petty, EU regulation designed to impose uniformity and to stifle competition and initiative.
