Nonsense. The only forming the EU does is monodirectional.

Appoint and sanctions the people who make our laws? You mean like I do with the House of Lords?Yes, thank you, Steve, I can read and oddly enough I used that extraordinary skill and did so before I posted the link.
Yes, I'm fully aware that there are get-outs. One of the predominant reasons behind our vote to leave the EU was to restore the ability to make our own laws, and to appoint and sanction the people responsible for doing so.
I wouldn't trust the EU with anti-tax avoidance initiatives for one second. The last President of the EU Commission, one Jean-Claude Juncker, spend many years as PM of Luxembourg, where it would not be over-egging it excessively to say that he presided over the creation of an entire economy built on tax avoidance.
Anyway, as I said, a bunny hole beyond which there lies an extensive warren, and I've already been drawn down it.

True, dat.It's astonishing how far apart we are in our perceptions of the EU.
And of the meanings we choose, for the sake of expedience and bias, to apply to the word 'reform'.
A wonderful example is the Scotland Office- they don’t exactly have a large pool of MPs to appoint from so the Scottish Secretary- a man no one here had heard of and who had only become an MP in 2017- has one of the party’s wealthy donors ( who no one had heard of) given a peerage and appointed minister of state.Appoint and sanctions the people who make our laws?

But the important point remains that the HoL does not write your laws.

Now how can I vote this individual out of office? He’ll be sitting in ermine next to the other one who got his hands on the levers of power in the same manner, elected by no one- Baron Hannan of Lima.
And neither does..or did, the EU..ever. Maybe you missed that.

There is the correct meaning of ‘reform’, then there is some BS meaning used by at least one hard remainer, probably more.Forming?
No, it’s not nonsense. Maastricht was a major reform, one you've been complaining about bitterly for years. Lisbon was a major reform, as was Nice (qualified majority voting). The CAP has been reformed more times than I can remember, almost yearly. Etc. Etc.
Like them or not, these are all reforms. They’re just reforms you don’t like. Not a surprise. You’re a conservative.
I must admit that if I found my moral compass aligned with the likes of Farage and the Wetherspoons boss (isn’t hubris a wonderful thing?) I’d have to give myself a good talking to. I wouldn’t be displaying ‘moral foundations’ on the internet.
