How about actions and not words. Every leader of every country in the EU wants and needs reform in the EU. But nothing has happened other than lip service.
UK money stays in the UK other than the money we have to give to the EU or money we donate to help needy countries. We have the choice. We don't have the choice on where the billions of pounds each year go that goes to the EU.UK exists because its member states choose to be part of it and therefore have to pay into it. EU exists because member states choose to be part of it and therefore have to pay into it. If anything UK is less democratic because some of its member states were initially forced into it through military action.
Obviously there are huge differences in the way each works but the principle is the same.
The same job that the Bank of England has performed in Britain for centuries!
Again, good riddance!
I won't be voting on EU issues in a general election and neither will many others.
Like where he wanted to chase those using tax dodges but wouldn't allow anyone to look into the tax dodges he was in charge of? Because he would have been in charge of looking into his own tax dodges.European Commission - PRESS RELEASES - Press release - State of the Union 2018 – Commission proposes last elements needed for compromise on migration and border reform
There are several reports of Juncker’s reform suggestions. Just google “Juncker reform” and apologise.

You don't care about anything other than us remaining in the EU. You make excuses for everything those running the EU does wrong. Then your fantasy mind tries to make out that the UK does it even more.Oversight of 28 countries’ banks is a bigger deal than the BoE in Britain. More influence.
You’re not bothered about other people’s UK jobs. Nice.
You won’t be voting on any issues if you vote for Farage as he doesn’t have a manifesto. You will just vote for what you believe the leader stands for.

Just like when you said that the procedure for electing others into a top position in the EU have changed so it can't happen again. I asked you to show what you mean. You changed the subject. Because all they have to do is ignore procedures, rules, regulations and laws to get what they want.
And?English money gets redistributed to Scotland and Wales. English people don't get a say in how those governments/assemblies spend it. Other UK countries get free prescriptions, England doesn't, despite paying in the most.
So you agree with the findings but pretend that it wasn't against EU law? Yes or no.I have posted the last ombudsman’s report with her recommendations. They do not ignore all regulations all day everywhere in the EU. That is another nonsensical Astute claim. They were not even found to have ignored any law in the Selmayer case. They knew the law and that there were 2 ways of appointing the head of the civil service. They used the emergency rule, but were found to have created the emergency for their purposes. I haven’t changed the subject. It is still the same, a criticism of your wild sweeping statements.
You answer with more wild sweeping statements.
As for reforms, maybe every leader wants reforms. The commission wants reform. The problem is not some mysterious conspiracy to stop reforms, it is that to get major reforms through you need consensus. Countries follow their own interests, that is democracy. The EU is not a super state, but a Union of sovereign states.

So what has changed so far?
Oversight of 28 countries’ banks is a bigger deal than the BoE in Britain. More influence.

All countries want to take power back. Why can't they?
And?
The money raised in tax in the UK goes back mainly to those in the UK. We are all one. We have the same government.
It's a Quango which duplicates the job already done by national central banks and Britain doesn't have any more influence over it than any other member state.
Real jobs, yes. Superfluous jobs, no.
I don’t know why you always bring everything back to labour as if that somehow supports your stance?

Are you saying the Bundesbank doesn't do an adequate job of regulating the German banking industry?It obviously doesn’t do just the job by National central banks do. It oversees what they are doing.
It was centred in the UK because of the financial centre of London. Exactly because of expertise. These are real jobs. The reason there is an oversight is prevent another crash, or at least see the warning signs. You call that superfluous.
Britain(UK) doesn't have any money of its own. It steals it from taxpayers of its member states England, Scotland, Wales and NI.
Real jobs, yes. Superfluous jobs, no.

Whet a ridiculous statement
it was facetious comment based on the post I was replying too. The principle is the same. Do English people pay taxes because they want to see the Scots get free prescriptions while they don't? I very much doubt it, but the legal framework that has been set up and agreed to by the member nations means that's what happen whether the Engish like it or not. We could stop that money being spent in ways we don't like by voting for England to become independent and we won't have to give money to the others via the institution of the UK.

I just don't trust those who hold all the power in the EU. Even Merkel wants the power to go back to the leaders of the countries in the EU. But you come out with changes they want to make that has nothing to do with who holds all the power.
What do you mean it happens if the English like it or not?
The Westminster parliament can through legislative process stop devolution should it wish and revert back to a central policy for all
That would be a gas. Haha.
Seriously, the chances though are 0,00.

And if it did do that what do you think would happen? If that happened Scottish independent movement would pretty much take over and would spread to wales. With central policy no right to vote for independence in a referendum would lead to direct action and quite possibly a terrorist organisation called the SRA. The Troubles in NI would kick off again. It'd be a 'civil war'.
They'd desire it but if Westminster took back central control they wouldn't be allowed to - Britain wouldn't let them.
I'm not arguing that the Scottish independence movement is full of inconsistencies in being anti-UK but wanting to stay in the EU. It wasn't long ago Salmond et al were saying they'd reject the pound and take the Euro. Then the Euro crashed and suddenly they wanted to keep the pound. If after Brexit the pound is badly affected expect them to change their mind again.
It's a thing I don't get about many of those favouring leave. They don't want interference from the EU but most are fundamentally opposed to Scottish independence and the break up of the UK would be a terrible thing. They can't see that those Scots favouring independence see the UK in the same way as Leavers see the EU - interfering in their own affairs.
It's looking at parallels to the situation at different scales. Maybe we should look to leave the UN because it interferes in how each individual nation chooses to act?
No country wants to leave the EU ( apart from the UK ).
That's because they haven't had the bill for Brexit yet.
I’m not opposed to independence at all. Surely what’s more confusing is remain voters bigging up the benefits of self governance, WTO and hard borders with Ireland
I find this very confusing. Who is 'bigging up' the benefits of WTO and hard borders?
If you're referring to me, I'm not 'bigging them up' and certainly don't see any benefits to them - I think they'd be terrible. I'm stating those are the realities of what is likely to happen as the only option that has a realistic chance of getting through is no deal, either through government or second referendum.
