The EU has the ability to instruct the government of the UK to accept immigrants from other parts of the union and to apply sanctions if they refuse. On the other hand when there is an assassination in tiny member country Malta, the EU is powerless to ensure that the crime is property investigated. Just goes to show what a total mess the EU is in and why it makes total good sense for the Britts to want to get out from under what is a recipe for dysfunctionality.

Just how much power do you want the EU to have? The UK signed up to free movement when we joined the EU, we didn't sign up to have the EU take over investigating criminal cases if they found them suspicious, and neither did Malta.

If you want EU power to be limited, it has to be limited in all member states, large and tiny alike.
