The title of this post is one more pebble on the mountain of attacks against democracy and the rule of law in Europe. Sure, the EU could be improved a lot, but declaring it a joke and tearing it all down is certainly not going to make anything better; except maybe for authoritarian leaders in countries outside of the EU who want to go back to being able to bully around all those smaller nations individually.
I never had the option to vote for something that fulfilled my needs even when I was promised that. Tell me again of the power of abstracting needs away into an average of the people. The only power I see in that is keeping more or less the same people at the steering wheel.
