The EU costs you the same as Netflix - is it worth it? Rem Koolhaas thinks so.

  • In the week of the EU elections, the Dutch architects Rem Koolhaas and Stephan Petermann are working to create a new image of the EU, by moving it away from that of a faceless bureaucracy and considering its key achievements. With data sourced from the European commission, here are their nine reasons why EU membership, at roughly the same cost as a monthly Netflix subscription, is worth it

      They take time and money, and everyone (include Farage) thought Remain would win, because it’s obviously dumb to leave the world’s biggest trading bloc in which we have various privileges. Moreover, when Cameron did try to educate people on the advantages of Remain, the Leave side took this as cheating on the referendum spending (even though it was outside of the campaigning period, just like the decades of bendy-banana tabloid lies) and decided it justified _actually_ cheating via Cambridge Analytica.

      @@Correctrix, the EU isn't just a trading bloc though is it? The EU is a political project that not one single UK Citizen ever voted to join in the first place, but one that has been imposed on us through stealth without our consent, just so that we can be allowed to trade with other countries. There are around 170 or so non-EU countries on the rest of the planet that seem to manage perfectly fine without having to be joined politically to their trading partners, so there is no need to be joined politically to your trading partners in order to do business with each other.
      The argument for the EU is about the UK and 27 others democratically sticking together for economic strength and world trade. If that was the case then I would have no problem with it, but the EU is a political project first, with nothing democratic about it, that wants to consume the individual nation "states" into their EU umbrella to create a one-size-fits-all European Superstate, a United States of Europe through the back door, with those once individual countries subservient to a bunch of unelected, out of touch bureaucrats based in Brussels. Those that create EU policy, the Commission (the only true power within the whole corrupt EU structure, despite what you would like to tell us all otherwise) can never be removed at the Ballot Box if you don't like any of their policies because they will never stand for election in the first place. There is already a massive disconnect between the London-centric UK Parliament and the rest of the UK, how much more of a disconnect is there between a Brussels-led EU Commission and the UK itself?
      I am just looking at the bigger picture, and right now I can see what the EU is well on its way to becoming. Why does a trading bloc even need its own President (or five), its own (sham) Parliament, it's own Supreme Court, with jurisdiction over all member "States" Courts, its own Flag, its own Anthem, its own Currency, Outer Borders/Open Borders, and now, seemingly, its own "Military Task Force"?

      @@Correctrix, you have fallen into the often selective history surrounding the UK's economic difficulties of the 1960's and 1970's prior to EEC membership, and correlating the UK's present day economic success as a direct link to the UK's EEC/EU membership, which is pure speculation at best. The UK still suffered economic difficulties after it joined the EEC/EU in 1973, so much so that it needed to apply to the IMF for a bailout in 1976.
      The UK being the successful economy that it is today cannot be directly linked to being a member of the EU. It wasn't because of being in the EEC/EU that the UK became economically successful, it was because the UK kicked the Corbyn-style socialist mentality that was rife throughout UK industry in the 1960's and 1970's to the kerb and embraced capitalism in the 1980's and beyond. The UK became economically successful despite the EEC/EU, not because of it.

      Tell that to the far-right fascistic movements in Hungary, Italy, France and Germany, and the migrants trapped in Libya and Turkey. I'm a lefty and hate borders but you've got to face facts. The EU is in an incredibly tenuous place and to say we are 'closer than ever' in the face of this rising tide is to rather put one's head in the sand. Without serious reform, the EU and freedom of movement as we know it could easily collapse in the face of migration due to climate change, global economic crisis, austerity or all three. Much needs to be done if you want your idea to be a long-term reality. I'm not in the slightest bit nationalistic, but unfortunately you and I don't represent the people of Europe. We represent a small, mostly middle-class portion of the population and one day our voices will not be as stridently heard.

Who is holding a sovereign country accountable? Why are Russia so keen on breaking up the EU and undermine US democratic principles? The smallest countries in the EU have a relative larger voting share than the largest countries within the EU like Germany, France, the UK etc. Lobbyists have a very hard time getting legislative exemptions or catering for special interest in the EU as they will have to lobby all countries to get the required more than 260 votes (representing some 313 million European citizen (that is a lot of door to door convincing) - it is a lot easier to go to a handful of parliamentarians or party leaders in the UK or US and provide them with the right "incentives" (=trips, campaign funding etc). The elite, the powerful and big money do not like the EU, but those same constituencies would like to feed the public with the opposite narrative, so they can regain control.....why do you think Boris Johnson who went to Eaton is against the EU.....I am not sure Eaton graduates represents the average UK citizen or their interests.

    I'm glad that you mentioned it. The original European Union (that is the European Coal and Steel Community) was established to make countries dependent on each other through a common market. Easier traveling, customs union, free trade. What European Union is right now is very very far away from that noble original idea. The European Parliament and other EU organs interfere with nations' internal policies, influence political campaigns in the member states, "promotes" freedom of speech by supporting media of their very subjective choice etc. Guy Verhofstadt and other people like him do not even hide the fact that what they want is for the member states to transfer their sovereignty and powers to the EU. Most of the newer member states had their sovereignty transferred to Moscow for a half of the last century. It also was for the greater good.
    I think Norway and Switzerland are in the best situation. They too have the free travelling thing going on, they also trade freely with the Union, their higher education and scientific community is very well incorporated in the European system, but they do not have to put up with thousands of pages of legislative, that weekly leaves Brussels never to be read again.

    Just listing the positives gets us nowhere. You will never understand people who voted to Leave if you don't reckon with the serious systemic flaws at the heart of the EU, and lending of powers given to sovereign parliaments by the people, alas democracy, to unaccountable, bureaucratic and frankly corrupt neoliberal institutions. One big problem is the Eurozone, and the EU has no way of addressing that for two reasons; it can't be faced by national parliaments, constrained as they are by European monetary policy and it can't be faced by international european level organisations since fiscal powers will never be devolved to that level, French, Spanish, Italian heck even German citizens will never agree to this.
    It's not a case of the EU not doing good things. It's the false concept that these things are ONLY possible through the EU or at least the current structure of the EU. That there is no room for reform, or that national parliaments could not agree to do this through international agreements that protect sovereignty and by consequence democracy. The EU is not one demos. It's made of hundreds of different, warring nationalities, each battling for dominance. Germany currently leads with its huge export lead, but if it were not Germany it would be France. The EU as it stands is, in my opinion, not fit for purpose. No amount of "good" legislation will deal with this. It's a question of structure and systemic flaws.
    Until this is addressed in a meaningful, dare I say revolutionary way then far-right fascist forces will keep rising by scapegoating immigrants, while the EU continues to pile on austerity and say that there is no alternative. An idiom of Thatcher, it will drive millions to despair and into the hands of the only people that seem to 'understand' them, to get the unfairness of the system. Fascists. So stop patting yourselves on the back, and talking up the dream of a 'united' Europe. Try improving the daily lives of average people through systemic reform. Otherwise this whole debate will be rendered meaningless.
