Actually, as an organisation, the EU is indeed corrupt. Democratically corrupt. It is sneakily engineering the removal of sovereignty from the constituent nations to the centre; it wants the European Union Parliament to trump national parliaments. And they are sneakily doing this bit by bit.
When/if that happens, the political groups with their collective interests will outvote minorities. The certainly would have happened to the Uk if federalisation were to occur should we have remined in the EU.
Sovereignty is everything; all it then needs is a competent government which we don't have.

It is a serious point. You focus on the EU yet accept, tolerate and endorse the corruption in the very Party you belong to. I think this says it all.
The EU is corrupt as any large Governmental body is, no more. You seem happy to accept an unelected Chamber as part of our Legislature, stuffed with political cronies and then say, with the same breath, that the EU is "corrupt and undemocratic".
