The EU is a comfortable "club". All taxpayers know that EU politicians (MEPs) are paid more than National MPs ! This is just one concrete reason why "club" members want to avoid any changes in the rules which govern them in the EU.
MEPs are elected once every 5 years, even if there are General Elections in the country they are "supposed" to represent. This in fact means that the "wind of change" reflected by a national General Election will never affect the already elected MEPs !
There is only one way to introduce more Democracy into EU elections ! It is to change the rules and to ensure that MEPs are always elected at General Elections just like National MPs !
What can National Leaders do when their country has elected them to govern, to "change things", when EU rules and laws prevent them ?
Examples like this are at the crux of many EU problems, which need changes. Changing EU "rules and conditions" is at present almost impossible.
David Cameron must be admired ! Obstinately he will soon raise similar problems ! His electorate want less immigrants; in fact they want him to grab back powers which have left the English Legal System sterile to apply British Laws !
