European Union Bill

Is it not ludicrous that there are so many Commissioners? There are far too many of them to give them all proper jobs. Half of them do not have a proper job now. We have ended up with a system under which each country gets one Commissioner, but they are not meant to be there as ““the British Commissioner””. They should work together as a commission. When it comes to state aid, it is particularly important that they act independently, not as a national representative.
