The dysfunction of the Eurozone, the “annihilation” of sovereignty in the EU countries under severe crisis, has made the EU a Union that seems less and less attractive. The failure of the EU policies along with the arrogance and unforgiving way with which they have been implemented has only made things worse. Consequently, politicians in the UK have manipulated this to more than an extent, blaming the EU for any wrongdoing. The oxymoron? While the British did not suffer directly from the democratic deficit so evident in the European Financial Crisis, it played directly into their perceptions of the EU itself.
