EU's Preponderance Is "Dangerous Timebomb"

The EU says the "Big Four" auditors are too powerful and dominant, and should be broken up.

I say, the EU's preponderance is itself a dangerous timebomb, and it should be broken up into separate nation states, each with their own autonomous government, and accountable through national parliaments to their own people.

"Can independence be preserved"? At the moment, and as envisaged by its proposed constitution, the EU is not democratically accountable, and keeps usurping the role of national governments. The EU does not have a democratic government - it is run by a cabal of heads of state and officials. The people of Europe are unable to throw out the EU government, and their national politicians are powerless to decide any of the ever growing range of matters over which the EU has competency.

The latest evidence is that the EU is costing its members 12% of GNP - over £100 billion a year in Britain alone - in adhering to the EU's regulations. EU competitiveness report (pdf).

The EU is currently putting in place structures to support foreign and military policies, including a foreign minister, military expeditionary forces, and Galileo a satellite system.

Internally, the EU is constructing centralised police, justice and surveillance systems and institutions.
