It would be expecting too much of Farage and Friends to ever do anything which might help the EU. The fact Farage and friends were even there was counter productive to the UK ever getting any reform as his stated aim was to get the UK out.

Financial Times said:"What’s more, they were supported in this action by the UK (otherwise known as the country that like to lecture others on fiscal discipline). Gordon Brown was chancellor at the time."
No...it's only ruling 4. That's just a matter of scale."The EU isn't perfect. Its made up of people so never will be.
But in the opinion of several of us on here its not as bad as others are making out.
Ask yourself, is our own government perfect? Will it ever be, no matter how many times we vote out the incompetent ones? "
No, our government isn't perfect, but it's not trying to rule 27 other countries.
One of the only politicians you can say truly achieved his goal.
No...it's only ruling 4. That's just a matter of scale.
It used to rule a lot more than 4 though. For quite a long time...

At least we can vote them out though.

NO have a look at Tony B liar and any retired former MPs , most are extremely successful in other jobs, lined up when they were at the helm. They mostly all achieve their goals.
Political goal.
Sure most of them are successful in many regards, especially after their political careers are over, but how many politicians have one main aim and achieve it?
And that Empire disintegrated.....as they all do, eventually. The EU is just the next in a very long line.
Haha, we'll soon see.
And here is me thinking that abolishing the unelected upper house would be right up your street Dave.Interesting response. People have been saying "Haha we'll see" for years!
I've always thought our first/second chamber setup is a funny sort of democracy but the Lords job is supposed to be to "hold the government to account". It looks as though the government will try to bar the Lords amendments for Brexit and they probably can. But the over the years, governments of every political shade have threatened to change their terms or abolish them Wikipedia describes the last one that was abandoned due to Conservative pressure:
All three of the main parties promised to take action on Lords reform in the 2010 general election, and following it the Coalition Agreement included a promise to "establish a committee to bring forward proposals for a wholly or mainly elected upper chamber on the basis of proportional representation".[5] Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg introduced the House of Lords Reform Bill 2012 on 27 June 2012[6] which built on proposals published on 17 May 2011.[7] However, this Bill was abandoned by the Government on 6 August 2012 following opposition from within the Conservative Party. A successful attempt to pursue minor reform of the House was made on 14 May 2014 when the House of Lords Reform Act 2014 gained Royal Assent.
It's funnier still that the same Tory party that wanted to stop reform in 2012 is now threatening to abolish them! Hmm I wonder...
