It makes at least most of the UK citizens think they pay a lot and for rubbish and only very few receive something like 2% of the population.<br />Every simpleton knows the trick is to 'Robin Hood' as that gives the opportunity to get money from a few and give it to many.<br /><br />This is only keeping relatively small groups as well as certain governments happy. Which is not the thing to do when the decision moves like via a referendum to the voters in general.Riknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36227136.post-29729494499566776182012-11-30T15:49:09.308+00:002012-11-30T15:49:09.308+00:00at the end of the day these payments are simply br...at the end of the day these payments are simply bribes to encourage countries/people to like the EUAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36227136.post-11301884770480134172012-11-29T20:52:37.477+00:002012-11-29T20:52:37.477+00:00Problem with the CAP, absolutelutely not helpful t...Problem with the CAP, absolutelutely not helpful the create a viable agricultural sector.<br />It subsidises the status quo.<br />If you pay for the staus quo that is what you will get.<br /><br />With as further problem as Rollo mentioned it creates substantially higher consumerprices.

If you have to have anything (which at EU I doubt) the simple answer is deficency payments to raise product prices to those on the world open market Which is - incidentally - what we had here from the end of the war till joining the EU - it worked well.<br /><br />An ADDED cause of fury in Britain. When we surrendered half of our Rebate it was in return for a promise to reduce the CAP budget.

And it still leads to surpluses which are subsidised again to sell into third world markets. Nothing could be better designed to destroy development of poor countries.
