    Europe is great. I love the advantages there are. I¿m not British, yet at the moment I live and work in the UK and I can do everything I want to do. Just like in Germany, where I am from. However, I do think the EU needs to undergo changes. To be honest, before watching this segment, I thought of ¿the EU¿ and ¿Europe¿ as commutable terms. Thanks for telling me the difference! And here we go ¿ that¿s what people talked about in the segment. The lack of knowledge the public has about Europe and the European Union. That¿s a point that needs to be addressed in the countries. People have to be told what it is about more clearly, more often, with words everyone can understand. The governments have to talk to its people about it since Europe is all about us, the citizens of the European countries. It is rather aggravating to see how in the EU things are being decided over our heads. Democracy is in danger. People¿s opinions aren¿t asked for, or aren¿t being listened to. That¿s just plain patronizing. It¿s sending out the message that we cannot think for ourselves. That our conclusions aren¿t worth to be considered seriously. Don¿t underestimate us, EU!

Description: Are you for or against the EU? On the streets of London the public are split down the middle, most want more information and certainly a chance to vote. In the studio, Oxford University lecturer Chris Bickerton, discusses the nature of the EU and the Lisbon Treaty. Having apparently ¿got it wrong¿ and voted no to the treaty the first time the Irish were asked to vote again. Chris explains this is how the EU operates. To be seriously pro European he suggests, we have to abolish the EU. (less)
