      They have become a dictatorship. And they are not helping Eu countries, their aim is to ruin Eu countries as fast as they can. EU doesn't need migrants anymore, half of those migrants don't work, just live on free money.

      Financial benefits to stay, financial harms and penalties if they leave. Its how the EU controls countries. There's also deep interconnectivity issues. My friend is a member of the military in an EU country. He hates the EU technocrats but when populist candidates talk pulling out he rolls his eyes. The member states work in a deeply interconnected way in terms of data sharing, interoperability of communication and data systems, etc... Any country pulling out would be cut off from this and have to in many ways rebuild from scratch, which isn't a very reasonable scenario. And that's aside the individual countries are small like individual states in the US. Going it alone in world defense is not feasible. Some sort of collaboration is needed, and if they pull out, they'll have to reinvent the wheel so to speak. The EU establishment plays this power card too.

    Every time someone sheds light about what happened in romania i can't help but congratulate them. The fact that in a EU country electionS straight up got canceled is insane. And nobody in EU said a thing. They don't even want to talk about it. If it was indeed interference, why aren't they taking an agressive stance against those who did it? why don't they spread awareness, why don't they blame Russia directly for this at least? and If it wasn't, why do they let romanian corrupt politicians get away with it? It's simple... because EU is nothing but a project of oligarchies that doesn't care about the lower and middle class citizens, as they call them. they only care about the priviledged enjoying their ''freedom''. Freedom of imposing what they think on other people, by using money power and influence. that's what the rich people in europe want.

  • @alanrobertson9790
    @alanrobertson9790 6 часов назад

    Apart from election re-runs the EU is undemocratic in that the Commission has far more power than the parliament and in particular the ECHR. The ECHR having judges decide what elected governments can do is wrong in principle. Particularly when the ECHR has reinterpreted the law well beyond the original wording. This is the ‘living instrument’ approach of the European Court of Human Rights. "The ECHR views the Convention rights as subject to evolution and change in their understanding over time. What constitutes privacy, a right to life and freedom of expression must evolve with technological and social developments". In other words the ECHR will extend their powers over time to be more than it originally was but see the gloss they put on it!

    Rubbish. The EU is the political miracve of my life, and I have lived in the EU, in Germany, in France, in Sweden, in Italy and we had a common culture and Democracy was cultivated by the EU it was the condition of membership. I am a European I belong to the EU and had I thought the swinish Multitude of the English lower Middle class would double cross the EU, the UK and the USA with their absurdity I would not have returned. I only did so because I had super parents one German the other Irish, and my mother's health was causing my father some anxiety but life in Europe was both democratic and cultured and the people that allege to the contrary are talking rubbish. All the anti European and anti EU attitudes I have heard come from people that know fuck all of Europe< have no cultural perspective, are badly educated. I was educated in France, and , in Germany and in Italy, and I am thankful that I did not have my education in modern Britain with an absurd curriculum where you can drop languages mut choose between Science and Humanities, The English speaking peoples, not the Celts are ignorant, arrogant, Insular, and conceited and they know nothing, and British Democracy is all that Brilliant considering the Welsh, the Scots, and the Irish were neglected and ignored by England with Brexit, and Ireland has been the only part of the former Greater British Isles that has prospered by leaving the UK and by our leving Europe, The Engish talk ignorant rubbish on every topic on which what they are pleased to call their mind alights, especially Immigration, where the most uncultured lower middle class English talk of their Religion and their Culture when they know fuck all about either. All the young people I have advised to leave the UK if they want a life, a culture and a profession are settled in Germany and France and they would not come back any ,ore than I would except for my mother. It is too late to return now but what I do know is that my parents were blessed with two splendid daughter in law, One French, the other Swedish, and had they lived a third, who would be German.
