It is the only directly elected body of the European Union

The UK is also becoming into an over populated country as anyone can stay here as long as there past f the EU. In addition to this we bail out broke countries such as; Greece, Spain and Ireland
I believe being in the EU is a good thing as you can emigrate and work in different countries
