The creation of the EU has taken that power away from them. By slowly but surely centralising power to Brussels. In return for what?

The EU has not achieved one thing that In dependant countries have achieved, except for the Euro. Which is dished out to countries unable to regulate borrowing, spending and taxes effectively. The EUs second biggest market is in GBP. The EU trades with the rest of the World effectively. So it's no great advantage.

We were able to holiday, work and retire in Europe before the EU existed.

Politicians able to communicate and work with each other across EU and non-EU countries?

So what has the EU give to the people it rules?
