'The EU is still more the coal and steel cartel it was than a democracy.' You give the Brexiters far too much ground there. The EU is of course a complex beast with different versions of 'democracy' at different levels, but it is entirely under the control of democracy.

We have the only parliament in the world that cannot legislate and the EC is a business club for boys. No, it’s not democratic. But it could be. Re: Brexiters, I’d line the lot up and piss on ‘em if I could but that doesn’t mean we overlook the issues that do exist with the EU.

You’re entirely within your rights to think so.
