Austria is in the EU, would you trust Jörg Haider with your gay rights mailing list?

But I know what you mean and you are right, the EU doesn't prevent rabid populism. Interestingly though, it's the mainstream parties in the EU who aggressively pursue all kinds of privacy intrusions and surveillance madness.

That's certainly a plus because you have a court to go to, but tax law is national law in the EU.
