I am not opposed to an EU army, or closer political and economic unity, so long as the UK is not involved. Europe, historically, has had a predilection to more totalitarian forms of government than the UK. Let them get on with it. Looking at the way the EU has evolved it may well turn into something as democratic as the Catholic Church. There, there is democracy for the Cardinals but the less informed are kept away from decision making. The EU has an apparency of democracy but the EU Parliament only gets to vote on what the top few ex member state rulers tell them they can vote on. Look at these top few ex state presidents, opposition leaders and prime ministers as an equivalent to the Papacy's Cardinals and the picture might become clear. The EU might end up as democratic as China is right now.

We are well out of it.
