the days of faceless bureaucrats ruling over small nations is a relic of the past reg.
the evidence of the last 20 or so years in europe alone has seen the collapse of the soviet union and yugoslavia into the countries that they actually were before.
czechoslovakia split into two, belgium planning to divide into 3, scotland thinking of leaving the united kingdom.
in other countries the catalan movement wants seperation from spain, the northern league in italy wants the country split in 2.
no doubt there are others that i have missed.
the fact is that superstates do not work in europe, some countries are more independent of others but overall they like to elect those that rule them.

British soldiers for centuries have been crossing the Channel in tin boats, tin helmet on head, to fight against aspiring rulers of Europe.

The British People will never give in to a foreign Diktat over our Country!
Dover has always been the front line of English and British Independence, we've got the victorious heritage of Defence of our Shores on our Eastern Heights and on our Western Heights. We will never surrender!
