Petition Parliament to debate: "It's wrong for UK to remain in democratic deficient EU."
Given that the UK has a centuries long tradition of democratic checks and balances and the EU has severe and structural democratic deficiencies it would be wrong for the UK to remain in the EU as to remain in the EU reduces the democratic means of accountability to the British People:
More details
The key severe democratic deficiencies of the EU are as follows:
The EU has Four Presidents and NON are Elected
The EU Parliament CANNOT start new or get rid of existing EU Laws nor allow for Private Members or Private Bills
The EU Government (the EU Commission) is NOT Elected is not accountable to us & we CANNOT remove/change it
The EU does not form law in PUBLIC and does not enable people to take part in forming it or accountable public debate on EU law
The EU IS DEMOCRATICALLY DEFICIENT
