Thanks, but I knew what he was going to say before he said it. Euro-politically, we are complete opposites. And of course, he thinks Britain is democratic and can do nothing wrong, and I have never thought they're democratic and know they do wrong

The 'power' that the EU has now is miniscule compared to the power they want. Why else would they want a single integrated European army?...

Well, that's an interesting about-face. One minute they interfere with "every aspect of your lives" and now their power is miniscule
But the question of a European army is easy to answer: they want to disconnect from Nato, which core-members see is a US foreign policy tool. They're right about that

Why else does the EU prevent any EU member making it's own trade deals with other countries? Is it really just to be sure that safety standards are maintained?

No, it's because we make deals collectively and want ALL standards to be maintained. Really, it's not hard to understand. If we allow individual states to make trade deals, and individual states can import what they like and also export what they like to other Members, then we have no valid standards
