EU is bedrock of peace and stability

Seventy-five years ago today, January 30, 1933, thousands of Germans thronged government quarters in Berlin in celebration of Adolf Hitler becoming Reichskanzler.

Today Mikhail Gorbachev sharply criticises the current Russian presidential election campaign.
"Something is going wrong with our elections, and our electoral system needs a major adjustment," he has complained.

When people criticise the EU they should be clear in their minds of the advantages it has brought Europe.

It is highly unlikely that an 'Adolf Hitler' would get away with it in the EU and modern Russia would not be able to behave as it does were it in the EU.
