That the EU is unaccountable and our politicians live in a bubble, as far away from the electorate in any real sense is a separate issue.Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-40220959387192726392010-09-26T14:26:35.000+01:002010-09-26T14:26:35.000+01:00Eventually the Unions will realize that there is n...Eventually the Unions will realize that there is no government in Westminster to negotiate with.
