I DO have a problem with the EU overruling local governments, we should decide for ourselves what we want.
If I vote for party X, it's because I agree with party X's points. The Dutch election system is rather well organised (no electors and stuff), so the eventual government will always be a reasonably good representation of the Dutch people. Now if our government passes a law, we don't need the EU telling us we can't.
By doing so, the EU will eventually merge into a super-state, with the people having not much control over the government anymore (as in the US, where there are only 2 major parties)
