[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 672595, member: 56232"] The EU has clamped down on anti-competition practices far better than any individual state government to my knowledge. I don't think the EU in its present form works well but I can't see how it can be called some corporate lobby. The only thing the EU really should change is the way so much money goes towards subsidising poor agricultural practices. Just let the farmers adapt or (metaphorically) die. At the time the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was implemented, it was basically a tool that allowed France to suck up huge sums of EU funding. Britain, who produced similar levels of agricultural produce but in a much smaller landspace, received a tiny portion of the funding yet had to pay more in. This pro-French policy of subsidising crap French farming practices led to the CAP. It should be scrapped as it was wrong then and is still wrong now. Also the reason why Wales isn't represented is because when the original Union flag was created, Wales was not a seperate country. Wales was legally part of England. [/QUOTE]
