What does it matter if the result is usually the same? Seems like nitpicking.

Britain's House of Parliament despite it's faults is a better democratic body than it is.
Yes, but what your member of the Commission wants can be influenced by who you vote for nationally?
Is Britain such a special snowflake that noone else in the EU every agrees with it or where is the issue?
Doesn't Britain have quite a few exceptions regarding EU membership? How did that ever happen if all the other mean countries are constantly bullying poor little Britain?

You're assuming that I ever had the kind of hope you are referring to. Maybe Britain getting out will finally allow the EU to reform.
