The View On The Streets: The European Union

On the streets of Walthamstow in East London, we ask the public what they think about the European Union. It’s clear that opposition to the EU is not the preserve of bigoted ‘little Englanders’, far from it. Eloquent, well informed citizens are seriously concerned at the EU’s undemocratic set up and want to have their say. Individuals backing the EU are hard to find and are against a referendum as they see their fellow citizens as ignorant and too ill educated to ‘understand the issues’.

The guy who explored the idea of the EU (as well as the current UK government) as having no strategy for growth was dead right though could maybe have gone further. The idea that the EU is an anti-democratic and bureaucratic institution seems thankfully, to be quite common. Curiously there are not any expressions of nationalism or xenophobia amongst the critics of the EU.
