ONE of the more important disadvantages of the EU as a tier of government surely is that while nation states can make changes to how and where decisions are made at various levels, and devolution is all the rage, the impetus with the EU is in the opposite direction.
As a decision-making body it wants to become bigger with an additional 10 members states. There is no question of adaptation to circumstances and devolution to smaller sovereign units when the one central beast becomes too big to work effectively, fairly and without corruption.
Will there ever be an end to this growth? Bigger with the EU but devolving within nation states seems to be diametrically different and conflicting routes to be travelling.
WENDY HANDS, Upton-upon-Severn.
