How are they non-removable?

MEP’s and governments of the 28 put them in place. Quite democratic.

Read about Martin selmayr, also the appointment of the drunkard , in spite of protests from several countries. Including David Cameron. Note that the EU have threatened Italy with a heavy fine ,because they don’t approve of the Italian governments budget. Democratic, definitely not.

Reading the guardian again ?. Definitely not good for your health.

A civil servant.
26-2
Those are the rules they signed up to and we've learned that the EU are excellent negotiators.

All sounds democratic to me.

You say that threatening Italy is undemocratic.
However, they were not forced to be part of the EU and are more than happy to take the benefits.

Surely, on thet basis, they have to adhere to the rules.
You cant have a "common" currency and allow individual nations to go solo on their fisical policy.

There is some "wiggle" room but, their has to be some control.

Just imagine if the UK had signed up for the Euro ??

Cracking riposte & defence of Tory policy.

Like Sepp Blatter and FIFA

Thanks, much appreciated. Can’t remember mentioning anything about Tory policy though.

Where do we stand on "no deal is better than a bad deal".
Clearly, Mrs May's efforts are viewed as a bad deal (it looks like she will lose the vote by 50/60 votes ?), therefore, should we go for the dreaded "no deal".
Labour are pretending that they could somehow gain a mythical good deal if they were in power and negotiating but this seems nothing more than fake news.
Therefore we have 3 options:

No deal
Bad deal
Remain in the EU

Even as a staunch remainer, I'm not happy with the though of a second referendum, it will just muddy the waters further and prolong the agony and uncertainty that we have endured for the last 2+ years (and we still haven't toughed the actual trade deal).

Although the Brexitiers, full of bravado say that we should "just get out" with no deal, there seems consensus on all sides that this will most likely throw us back into a recession or, very close to it and it looks to be the worst economic outcome (at least in the short/medium term).

So what next ?

No, it's indefensible.

Who knows?

Cameron really did let the genie out of the bottle didn't he?

May's deal is viewed as a 'bad deal' by anyone whose personal view of Brexit doesn't quite match, and who is not willing to show any compromise. Oh look, politicians.

Labour are so full of shieete it's untrue. They 'respect' Brexit. They won't back the deal, which will most likely drive us to no deal. They want a General Election. They think they can somehow drive a harder bargain with the EU. I've never wanted to punch a politician so much as listening to John McDonald over the last few days. The lies spewing forth are dizzying.

Could you imagine if Diane Abbott was on the negotiating team? [i"We propose reducing tariffs on these items to 2.5%...erm Jeremy what's a percent?"[/i 3.6640625:5
