  1. Somone recently made an intresting analogy which I extend now a little. One of the successes of the EU is it is a system of rules and regulations. There is no specific leader, no specific government, no specific country, no specific culture, no specific nationality. It's a machine running according to some very clearly formulared rules like laws of nature. Trying to subvert it or overtake it is extremly difficult, that's because of the "no-specifics" I recollected above make it extremly problematic to get a foothold. And that's also why there are so many lobbyists there because you'd need an army of them to achieve even the slightest influence. While in the UK you only need one for example (Dominic Cummings). In that regard the analogy I would place here comes from Game of Thrones in that the EU is like the Bank of Barvos. There is no specific someone to gain influence. Even if one breaks away it's just replace by another of the same kind. What it lead to? ... Stability and continuity mostly but that's what true bussiness likes even more than one or two regulations which impacts their gains somewhat.

  2. You vote your government. Your government announce a comissioner. The EU Parliament questions and checks the comissioner and approves it or not. There are more check and balances in place than you might believe. You also cannot vote on ministers in your government do you. The head of state just appoints them. The parliament cannot even vote on the selection to prevent some bad apples, the EU parliament can and have, for example 3 times last year.

  3. If it comes, than thanks to Brexit. And those Brexiteer supported the very thing they wanted to prevent. Just like Brexit and voting Tory, doing the one thing which makes everything worse than it already is.

  4.  @henrybn14ar  Rubbish. The lobby-times are over. If it were otherwise the Anti-Tax Avoidance laws would never come to pass. The real fascists have left central europe and moved to britain and america and south america post war. And instead of wearing steel-cap boots they now wear jacket and tie.
