Re: Nothing to do with brexit/remaining

all of our politicians are self serving idiots, but European ones are trustworthy

Most European politicians have some sort of constitutional limit on their powers, ours largely don't. Even that of course hasn't stopped Polish and Hungarian governments from seeking to weaken their constitutional protections and it's only the threat of EU action that's stopping them going further. Having neutral referees is a key protection for all "Europeans" who are not some homogeneous national group, but citizens of individual countries with common interests and equally dubious politicians.
