The paper looks at three issues that encapsulate the troubles of the European Union, its lack of legitimacy through its democratic deficit, the wasteful use of resources and damaging policies and its lack of a united and strong foreign policy. A lack of faith in officials is identified, with the public continuing to fail to identify with their MEP who is seen to be more interested in claiming huge expenses for their travel costs than actually having any positive impact upon their lives.
