Just think for a moment how broken the EU model is. You don't want something to pass. Other citizens of your country don't want the thing to pass. Your politicians don't want that thing to pass. Your euro politicians don't want that thing to pass. Yet in the current model that doesn't matter one bit because your SOVEREIGN country may still be overruled by foreign countries and politicians.

It's unbelievable that we have allowed EU to spread into this all encompassing monster that deals with anything but economic cooperation among member countries.

Other inhabitants of my town don't want something to pass. The local politicians of my town don't want something to pass. The politicians I elected to the national government don't want it to pass. Yet that doesn't matter one bit because my town my still be overruled by non-local towns and politicians.

This will always be a problem at every level.
