That is complete bollocks and once again you prove to us all you have no clue.
The EEC that we joined was a trading block, a free market.
It was not a political body.
There have been many treaties since then that moved the EEC towards EU that we had no say in. The one I Remember was the Maastricht treaty which I think gave the EU state powers, for want of a better term. We had no say. Ireland had a referendum and voted against it. Then had to have another one until they got to the right result.
Just get your facts rights and stop posting crap.
