It is possible to fix the undemocratic EU, but not possible if the UK’s government is sabotaging it.
The EU commissioners, technocrats, and councilors have NO INTENTION of reforming anything. They're hoping to punish the Brits for having the temerity to leave, like an abusive husband who is both shocked and offended that his wife ... actually ... left him. I'm not seeing ANY move towards greater democracy.
If anything the EU is doubling down on the usual carrots and sticks- NOW they're talking about an EU army to "keep the peace within their borders" (Maybe Greece needs to be invaded, yanno? Or Poland!) And they've broken their own policy of not allowing individual governments to bail out their own banks unless the shareholders and depositors have been "bailed in" first by allowing ITALY to provide guarantees against its own banks, to PREVENT A RUN ON ITALIAN BANKS.
With the EU, it's not about "rules" it's all about power. Germany has the first say, France has the second, and Italy has the third (but only on small things, and only if German and France agree with it). Meanwhile, they will browbeat and extort Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Poland ... any nation too small to stand up for itself.
You have fantasies of TPTB ... the Dems, Obama, Hillary, the EU, Merkel, Hollande ... being "nice people", believing that they think about your (our) safety and prosperity. A sort of West Wing vision of politics. In reality we are only so much fodder for their dreams of wealth and power. When they're not thinking about how to get MORE MONEY they're thinking about creating a nice safe post-job niche/ hidey hole. And when they're not thinking about that, they're thinking about how to dismember their political enemies who are, after all, fighting for the same piece of monetary pie.
I think it's time you disabused yourself of that pleasant little fairy tale about our fearless leaders being some sort of surrogate daddy or mommy, laying awake at night thinking about how to protect the kids. HA! In reality, they're thinking about who to sell them to so that can get a few more shekels in their pockets.

I'll tell you what I DON'T like about Trump: I think that he has never confronted either the international banking cartel, nor the CIA-State Dept multi-headed hydra, nor the military-industrial complex. The last person to confront them was JFK (BTW, ALL immigration was illegal under JFK) and look what happened to him.
Six years in, and nothing has changed, except that someone (prolly USA) blew up Germany's economic lifeblood.
If you think about it, the USA and the rest of the EU are destroying Germany, just like Germany was destroyed post WWI.

“Economically, the UK would have been better off staying in, wouldn’t it?”
Farage said he “doesn’t think that for a minute”, but insisted the Tories
(UK Conservative Party)
had been worse than the European Commission at running the economy.
He said: “What I do think is that we haven’t actually benefited economically from Brexit.
?What Brexit’s proved, I’m afraid is that our politicians are about as useless as the commissioners in Brussels were.
