We can get leverage on issues with a big public profile. We can be the lobby, because everyone uses the net and can understand the issues

So you see, we're on the same page Morvjn... Transparency and democracy. Reforming the institutions is much harder, but we're on to that too

Im skeptical the EU is reformable. The institutions were designed undemocratic on purpose. The ones in power want to keep them that way.
-
Agree, was designed undemocratically (& is)—we can try to reform. Even if we fail, we’ll have planted the seeds of democratic institutions.
