You said "any government" - in the case of the EU they blamed the financial crash for austerity while hiding behind the fact that the Eurozone is completely powerless to adjust its currency value to compensate and instead, austerity is the only option the members of the Eurozone have to recover their economies. The Eurozone is still bailing itself out, it still hasn't recovered and it hasn't worked. Austerity continues, while the UK, USA and other countries moved on years ago. They still blame the financial crash of 2008/2010 ... 10 years down the line.
The EU aren't accountable for anything. How do you get rid of the commission - you can't vote them out or anything, so how can you say they are accountable ?
To what and to who ? If member states go bankrupt they just borrow more money and get others to pay for it - they don't care, all they want is more power and control. The commission is just a glorified civil service that serves itself and feeds itself on what it grabs from. the 27.
Look at immigration - Australia has its own points based system that works extremely well. Just for arguments sake, if Australia joined the EU would you be happy being forced to adopt the EU immigration rules and if not, what could you do about it ?
