You omit some important detail. Who is Ashley Mote? For what does he
stand? i.e. which bias should we expect to read about?

His website, "Thank you for visiting my web-site, on which you can see much
of the work I have undertaken over many years fighting against the European
Union's interference in British affairs. My political ambition is simple and
clear - to see the UK leave the EU and restore the right of the British
people to govern themselves."

Hmmm, I sense a predetermined agenda here. It's very subtle...

The article, albeit interesting, reads very differently when this is known.

And this is surprising to whom? Some of us were discussing this, although I
have to admit in a positive way, 15 years ago! The structures have always
been obviously biased in a way to omit the democratic process from decision
making. The MEP should also explore the role of the European Court of
Justice, which has taken many decisions that confirm the superiority of
European Law of that of the Nation state and has expanded the scope of the
European power base enormously.

The question is not whether the EU is like this, it is, the question is
whether decision making is best taken out of the hands of the Nation states
and its voters. The lemmings keep voting for European treaties and thus
proving the case of those who believe decision making is best left to the
intellectual elite.
