It is this babel which has undermined the public's perception of the EU as far as i can tell. If the public was actually aware of what the EU was, i'd bet opposition would drop off dramatically. Perhaps Lisbon did not quite go far enough in streamlining the decades long, iceberg slow move to defining a European democracy.
I do think one of ET's strengths is bringing to light the complexities of the EU as it now exists, and pointing to areas which need more transparency. And this observer truly appreciates the effort. Skennah Kowa
At least sceptics should be honest: they don't want a more streamlined, more democratic EU, because they don't want any Europe at all.

shine dat light, we'll ferret out every weasel weeviling in every little dark corner, rinse out the institution with salt and vinegar, and reboot the bugger. The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it. Chinese Proverb.
