Many laws are directives from Brussels that our Govt has to interpret into UK law,so not our Govts' ideas. Sadly they have interpreted some of the rules differently to other EU countries. Of course in the real world the UK shouldn't be in a situation where it's told by an unelected body what it can or can't do.

I have concluded that whoever you vote for, the government always gets in.

Guy Fawkes had the right idea.
The Queen has the power to dissolve government if she thinks it's not good for the country using Clause 63 of the Magna Carta

What shape do our Cucumbers have to be? :O
Agree'd on you comment though, although Id replace Westminster with Hollyrood but sooner Westminster than Brussels.

It's an utter embarrassment for 'Dave', I really struggle to see how anyone would vote to stay in? To think that this is the crumbs that the EU throw us knowing we're heading for a referendum in. Few months is ludicrous and a clear indication of the utter contempt they hold us in. Not only that they've stated its not binding and can be removed. It's not even worth the paper it's written on.
I'm screwed either way as most daft Scots want to vote SNP who are right up Merkels jaksie.
