Default Why the Euroscepticsim?

Why do people loathe the EU so much? It's never done anything bad to this country, the fact is it's improved Britain no end;
Single market economy - Does this even need an explanation...?
No war - Perhaps the biggest thing, thanks to the EU there hasn't been a major war in Europe since WW2.
Open borders - With one passport you can travel anywhere around Europe without being stopped, so much easier when traveling.
Give's us a powerful unified voice - When the EU speaks as one at the UN it gets things done quicker than just a small island speaking out.
Funding for thousands of projects - The EU has pumped millions into projects all across Europe, which have improved people's lives no end.
European Court of Justice - Protects our rights. For instance, the recent ruling declaring that ISPs cannot track what people download.

Can anybody seriously say they would rather have a Europe without the EU and consequently, lose all of the above?
