What's arrogant about it? The new Lisbon Treaty transfers powers from the unelected Commission to the elected Parliament. This means that the decisions are being made and influenced by people YOU voted for. It's not an assumption, it's a fact!
Are you really likely to "alter things" better from outside? Seems to me rather arrogant to suggest we'd do better if we just looked after ourselves and didn't work closely on common issues.
BTW, the Lisbon Treaty was negotiated by all 27 countries. The current rulebook was designed by, intended for and agreed to by only 20. We can't carry in like that, especially when the newer countires are more in line with a British view of how the EU should be.
