Before I became aware of the software patent issue in Europe, I was pro-european integration, and saw euro sceptics as small minded xenophobes.

However, now having learnt that the European Council & Commission do not have listen to the democratically elected European parliament, I do not wish to be part of this 'Europe'.

To me, the EC as it stands is a focal point for corporations to lobby. It seems that large companies have a voice in Europe, whereas eveybody else is ignored.

I know which way I'll be voting on the European constitution issue.
