Here is a link to the official website of the EU. Here you can find information on the general workings of the different bodies of the EU, as well as reading recent journals, governmental reports and other archives on the EU.

Who is in?

This is a map of all of the different member states of the European Union. There are 27 in total and this is a vast increase on its humble beginnings of only 3 some nearly 70 years ago!
Each of these states are represented within the decision making bodies of the EU.

Welcome

Hello to all,

It has become clear that the people of this country are lacking education in a rather important topic concerning our everyday lives. The European Union has been made out by the current Government and all its predecessors to be an evil, power-hungry tyrant who wants nothing more than to usurp the British Parliament and take complete control for themselves. This my friends is simply not true!
I have taken it upon myself to try and help people to have a clearer understanding as to exactly what the EU is as it is clear that the Government is not going to change its tactics any time soon. The best way I could think of to do this is through the internet so I came up with this blog.
In this blog I am going to explain quite clearly and simply how it is exactly the EU works, what it is they can make decisions on and, finally, exactly who it is who makes these decisions.
I am also going to try and show exactly how little the European Court of Human Rights actually has to do with the EU and why it would be that, should we decide to leave the EU, we would still be bound by this court.
Of course I will welcome all to get involved and bring their own views to the fore, however, any racist, insulting or obscene posts will be deleted for the benefit of everyone else.

I hope you all enjoy this blog as much as I am going to creating it!
