I understand working together for greater benefit, but I never understood how unelected officials from another country deciding how your country should be ran was ever a good idea. I think when people see the UK not explode into a Mad Max-style apocalypse, and more terrorist attacks happen in the EU, more countries will be filing out. I think France and Poland have both made mentions about it, right?
Um, how is it unelected officials? The European Council is made up of the heads of state of the member nations, the Council of the EU is made up of appointees from the member state governments (so indirectly democratic), and the EUP is directly elected by the people. It's actually very similar to the way our legislative system was originally set up with one chamber appointed by the states and the other directly elected.
