Rather it's the loss of sovereignty that grates, in that state and even national political action can be overruled by the supranational entity outside the control of the political apparatus that's available to the ordinary citizen. By taking control of the supranational entities, the 1% gain the ability to dictate terms and conditions via an instrument that ordinary citizens have no way to even influence, let alone control. In this way, state and even national laws regarding workplace conditions or environmental requirements, for instance, can be overruled and disallowed, which disempowers ordinary citizens. Hence their resistance to the idea.Steve Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867028672999152537noreply@blogger.com
