Sadly no that isn't the case. Our glorious leaders adore the EU so much even when issues are actually the EU's fault, such as the 'pasty tax', a result of EU VAT regulations, or the Royal Mail being forced to charge more as a result of the forced deregulation of our postal market and foreign operators hoovering up the most profitable parts and leaving RM with the chaff they still don't blame the EU but take the hit themselves.
Honestly there really is the world of Westminster along with trendy politico Islington where Guardianistas live in their bubble where the EU is great and good and then there's the real world where the EU is making us poorer, less free and making a mockery of what's left of our democracy.
The European Commission brings legislation to the European Parliament, our representative on it has never stood for election to office. Truly a post-democratic era, a collection of appointees deciding on the direction of a continent and having that direction rubber stamped by a parliament where there's no real opposition but a collection of EU federalists and those who oppose them getting shouted down and silenced by an absurdly Pro-integration EU Parliament President who regularly accused those who oppose federal Europe as fascists.
That's not considering Guy Verhofstadt and Herman van Rompuy, both non-entities from the non-entity that is Belgium, a forced state that doesn't really want to be a state.
