If things are half as bad as Skybird claims I just don't see how you guys have a choice.

If things were 10% as bad as Skybird claims I don't see how we would have a choice, but the claims are 95% rubbish.

but from my experience a lot of people change their opinion from a EU-rejection to EU-critical stance once you take the time and present and meat and the bones of how things are done in the EU, and not just the simplified, easy-to-digest morsels fed by the media. However, I also agree that this takes time and effort and most people will not do it. This is why, in my opinion, the EU is currently stuck between moving forward and lingering into obscurity. One part is the capabilities-expectations gap, another is the misunderstanding of the fundamental elements of EU policy and decision-making.

Thats the core of the issue, too many people seem to read a sensationalist piece of nonsense about bent cucumbers or banning balloons and simply believe what they read without question.
Unfortunately it tends to be the ones that swallow the simpletons media version which make the most noise.
