What 3 words would you use to describe the EU?

No meme responses please.

Say what impression the atmosphere of the EU gives you- and be honest. I am interested.

My first word would be exclusive, because it seems like everything that happens in it, every decision that is made, takes place behind closed doors, in obscure parliaments and debates, and in foreign languages. For similar reasons, I would also describe it as elitist. Nothing in Europe happens without it going through the EU first, and average people do not feel able to have control- not to mention that nobody really knows the heads and presidents of the EU that well.

My final word would be... foreign. Because it really gives the impression of being a French or German run project with the British not really in on it.

Those are just my emotional, intuitive ideas. But they are important- the feelings that a government inspires in the people are a massive driving force of that nation's future.

Seriously, the EU may be in a mess right now, but it's nowhere near as bad as the Tories + the completely undemocratic House of Lords.

It aint even a bad deal. I was heavily surprised when the EU was so passionate about it.
