Myths and rumours explained !!Quite funny how rumours can spread ... however someone had to launch it ... (who said Nigel Paul Farage ?)http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/communication/take_part/myths_en.htm
That is some pretty funny stuff. However, the EU is getting a little monolithic in peoples lives, it also looks slightly undemocratic. The Lisbon Treaty is a perfect example, a no vote only counted until the next election while yes lasts forever.

Yes, this is a major problem about how democratic decisions are made in EU, most governments decide without any popular consultation. However democracy is the rule of people directly or through their representatives. I agree about what people can feel about "Eurocracy": as if governments didn't want to loose their supremacy to a European supra-government and IMHO European institutions are not close enough to people.I might be wrong but from what I could read or hear, I think this is the same kind of problem about the Federal government in USA ???
Yes, I would say the Feds are starting to act like the EU Bureaucrats. They continually trample on the states, but isn't that what the central government is supposed to do?
