Well, AIUI, the EU is great for Big Business, Big Banks and similar. It 
is far more pro multinational corporates than it is for the small shop 
keeper.

It seems likely that if the EU continues to go the way it is then Europe 
will end up in the power of the big corporations and small firms will be 
squeezed out.

If you believed that the EU was a vehicle for large companies would that 
change your mind about it? Could you be persuaded to think of a new 
Europe in which the small firms and individuals had the greater say?

I wrote up some reasons to back up what I say. What do you think of these:

http://pensites.com/politics/article-1072

Now I have more information I could add to that list but it seems 
relevant as it is.

Hardly. The Commission has long been the chief legislative body and is 
fast becoming the executive. No one on the Commission is democratically 
elected!

The only elected body, the Parliament, cannot draft new laws and cannot 
make executive decisions. It can only vote on laws the Commission draws 
up. And, in that, it has no more say than the Council of Ministers - 
which is also unelected!

I have studied it. It was only after doing so that I came to the 
conclusion that the UK has to leave it. I found it hard to believe what 
a terrible model the EU had become from what was once a laudable dream.

That said, if you think I have something wrong about it or you want to 
tell me what's good about it feel free. I am willing to see it 
differently but I think I know enough to be sure that it is not right 
for the UK and it is probably bad for citizens of other countries too.

ISTM that many think "we want to cooperate and we have the EU for that". 
But I would suggest that the EU is not at all a good way to cooperate. 
There are much better ways.
