Oh and the fact he was voted in shows he's wrong about them being unelected, he was part of them
Farage had to to be elected into an existing system. Maybe it's the electoral system that needs to be changed. Actually yes it is. Farage can only try and destroy from within.
I am sure if he had the power to demolish the lot of them then he certainly would.
A diplomatic row between France and Italy has deepened, with France complaining of "unfounded attacks and outlandish claims" by Italian leaders.
France recalled its ambassador to Italy for talks on Thursday, saying the situation was "unprecedented" since the end of World War Two. It comes after Italian Deputy PM Luigi Di Maio met French "yellow-vest" protesters near Paris on Tuesday. France warned him not to interfere in the country's politics
. Relations between the two countries - both founding members of the EU - have been tense since Italy's populist Five Star Movement and right-wing League party formed a coalition government in June 2018. The two governments have clashed over a range of issues, including immigration.

England is less effected and the effects are reasonably short-term until new trade lines establish.
If the EU taxes English imports (lamb, etc) then the shoe is on the other foot for that particular market. England has to find the underserved market for lamb short-term and reevaluate long-term looks.
It could well be they make an agreement that renders it all moot, as good trade deals do. I'll commit to your production, if you commit to mine. Or they find other dance partners. My guess is England has the upper hand because of the imbalance of trade.
you make a comment that you then can't actually back up

If you actual read what i had previously quoted from Donald Tusk then you wouldn't be asking that daft question.
For your benefit here is the quote from Tusk.

That comment is a direct interference into British Politics. If you don't understand that then that's your problem.

That's his opinion, nothing less and I don't think he was wrong either. The remain campaign have led us on a, well the phrase is merry dance but there's nothing merry about it...

Great to see the dont know what you voted for brigade is out, we all knew exactly what we were voting for. there is one big elephant in the room which remainers cannot seem to grasp, they mock the brexit idea of real democracy yet they have no idea themselves how the EU parliament works.
In Britain we vote MPs directly into seats, these MPs have the power to table laws and motions that are then put to a vote by elected MPs, hence the name "lawmakers" We can vote these people out directly in many ways including by elections and general elections
In contast the unelected EU Commission tables laws (Diktats)in secret with no minutes allowed to be taken. These laws are then passed to the elected parliament to vote on. This means no individual Euro MP has any lawmaking powers whatsoever, It also means that we cannot directly vote out these lawmakers. This is a massive affront to any western democracy that we have fought and lost so much for.
Also nobody can say that the EU has "given" us any money towards anything, its OUR money we pay more in than we recieve, simple maths.
There are many reasons why i voted leave but the idea opf living in a soviet style empire scares the hell out of me.
