The EU isn't democratic, it's an entirely undemocratic state-building project. Shown here is the EU parliament acting in effect as a rubber-stamper for the foundational laws of an increasingly integrated EU. But the UKIP MEPs protest isn't the eye-opening thing, it's the quote by the person at front "I'm speeding up where I know it's not a controversial vote. Where there are problems I slow down." The idea that any of the EU's obviously left-biased legislation is uncontroversial is a complete lie, but there you go, that's their attitude.
