News / Poland please don't give up your hard won democracy to the EU. Or give up the zloty! [24]
As an Englishman who's lover of Poland and everything Polish. I get really upset by Poland's attitude to Europe. The Polish have only had real freedom and democracy for 20 years, and now they seem desperate to give it away again to Brussels. There's no reason why Poland can't be one of of the strongest countries in Europe, but not if they give away their hard won democarcy. The EU is a fundamentally undemocratic institution and treated as a bit of a joke here in England. We in England have had the parliamentary system since the 13th century, perhaps the freedoms and liberties given to us by democracy are more ingrained here in England than most of the rest of Europe. Poland needs more confidence in its own institutions, the EU aint all that great!
