Is the EU a dictatorship?

standardisation of cucumber, bananas Really?

Or did you not realise you were having problems until the Daily Express/Mail/Telegraph etc tell you about them?

Could you tell me what problems you were having prior to the referendum with regards to us being in the EU?

Jeannie don't be silly. Of course not.

Did this absurd accusation come, by any chance, from the Daily Express?

jeanie99 if you have no interest in politics what on earth do you want a vote for anyway?

The EU maintains and improves standards for the environment, food, safety and some investment standards and competition rules. However each country can still make their own laws for other issues such as health, education and taxation.

Some EU decisions have not proved very popular such as standardisation of cucumber, bananas and regulation of competition rules.

I’m sure other gransnetters can think of many other examples. Perhaps the regulation about free movement of people has caused the most anger, especially in the UK.

If the EU was a dictatorship all countries within the union would have to apply the same laws across the whole of the EU. So no, the EU is not a dictatorship.

No, it isn't.

I think a dictatorship has to have a dictator.

The EU is the best hope for our children and grandchildren - even if you take the one thing of freedom of movement to live and work in 27 other countries rather than be stuck on a tiny island with decreasing resources and employment - it is worth remaining - without all the other benefits we currently have but are about to lose.

Is the EU a dictatorship?
No, the clue is in the name UNION

What are your fears?

What particular problems are worrying you?

What are your worries about the future of your children and grandchildren ?
