Answer 2

The European Commission's ideal European would accept the following without question:

1. Excessive regulation that places a disproportionate burden on smaller businesses. This eliminates competition, favouring the multi-national companies that control Western governments.

2. EU auditors have refused to sign off their accounts for 13 years. If this occurred just once in a UK public company, its quotation would probably be suspended and its board of directors sacked.

3. The patronising attitude towards democracy in the EU. When the EU do not like a referendum result, the people are regarded as having made a mistake rather than excising their democratic rights. We have seen in the UK and much of Europe the people have not been given a chance to vote on acceptance of the Treaty of Lisbon.

4. To summarise: a mindless puppet prepared to accept without question the regulations and dictates of the world's most powerful unaccountable body.
