🚨IMPORTANT🚨
Hey folks. Have to apologize since I made a blunder here.
While a member state can theoretically use his seat in the commission to "prevent laws" that they view as detrimental to them, that job really lies more with the Council since the commission is supposed to act in the common european interest. In addition to that, laws are send to national parliaments and they can reject them aswell, if they think it violates the principle of subsidiarity. This video explains it pretty good: ruclips.net/video/8C0Kq7ioOpk/видео.html
Three Arrows you’re weilcome
"there is no such thing as a "British Fish", that implication is a red herring."
goddamn I love lame dad jokes...
Thank you for at least acknowledging in the comments that the Council exists
Three Arrows can you please make a video on freedom toons he says some stupid things
I'm still confused. If people in the European commission/council aren't elected, how do they get their positions?

So whilst they cannot directly make legislation, they have the power to amend legislation.

@@iainwmacintosh
No...they CANNOT amend bills. They can comment on a bill, PROPOSE amendments which the ELECTED House of Commons can choose to accept or ignore.

@@doriandibaj1094 It has recently emerged that the Queen and Prince of Wales have been arranging for laws they don't like to be amended behind the scenes. It seems we've all been duped about her being just a figure head and she does wield a fair bit of political influence through her position.
@@red2theelectricboogaloo961 She will ask a member of parliament who has support of the largest party (effectively the party leader) to form a government. So she does pick, but from a choice of one.

gisforgary how many rich or successful people do you know?
@@timtim6373 Actually I know quite a few rich people, and they aren't what I would call successful, they have successful parents or grandparents. I have a cousin that is one of the most successful people I know, and she makes about 100k a year. She is heavily published and has held high ranking positions at a few universities, including Rutgers and Stanford. A friend of mine is a dietiican that works in oncology, she has a literal alphabet soup after her name, many people would think that is successful, she earns less than my cousin.
I also know trust fund babies that get hand written condolence letters from the Bush family that are nice people, but they never worked for anything. I know a mafia family heiress, is that successful?
gisforgary your right no every rich person worked for what they got or improved what they had. I was just trying to keep people from generalizing or vilifying a group of people.
"Who are these elites?!" and then Farage proceeds to describe himself.
No joke, about four in five of his brexit party MEPs are trust fund managers, property investors or 'entrepreneurs.'
@Patriot Rising 1916 but that's not how *he* described the elites. He described them as out-of-touch rich fucks that never worked a day and directly inferred *that specific trait* makes them inadequate. If you think the claim is absurd, well, tell it to Farage, not to the people mocking his point.

@Luis D. Does it hurt being as stupid as you are? In England what we would call fries they call "chips." This English person is pointing out that Nigel Farage, an Englishman, is referring to what they would call "chips" as "fries" as evidence of Nigel pandering to American Conservatives.
Luis D. Oof someone is stupid
@Luis D. Nice comeback!
Of course made worse by the fact that Farage always portrays himself as British-like as possible. ...Usually in a pub, drinking some local ale, whilst reading some shit-rag like The Sun. He will not bow to foreign pressures, oh wait, fries.
@Luis D. brexiter detected...
You can't imagine how rich it is to hear a British politician talk about "sovereignty" as someone from one of the British Overseas Territories.
As someone from one of the many NUMEROUS former colonies, I agree
@Xiaomu K It's insulting to hear these former Imperialists cry about "regaining" their independence over something so dumb, when many former colonies had to fight against actual oppression for their freedom.
@Xiaomu K The word "gets thrown about a lot" because that's exactly what happened, mate. There are no excuses for that.
@Xiaomu K The ONLY countries you can name that MAY have benefited from colonialism are Australia and New Zealand and those were ''New World'' countries aka very much uninhabited and not developed before the arrival of European settlers. Name ONE more country out of the dozens that have benefited from being a British colony. India? Was the greatest world economy before the arrival of the Brits. South Africa? Was ravaged by Apartheid for half a century. Any African country? LOL NOPE! Middle East? EVEN BIGGER NOPE! USA? That gained independence before the industrial revolution so whatever they achieved they did so on their own. British colonies were extractive economies ie they were designed only to send wealth outside the country and back to Britain not circulate it within the nation. Most of these nations also had their borders drawn without any consideration about cultural or ethnic backgrounds leading to civil wars and conflict. NOTHING GOOD CAME FROM COLONIALISM. GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK THICK SKULL.

@@anima94 it's more a jab at his own apparent ignorance of how not only there are countries under two levels of governance but how England was responsible for most of the ones that were, is responsible for two that currently are, and resulted in the formation of the last.
@@anima94 and technically most people are under at least two levels of governance, local and their country's and in the states we have an *_unimaginable_* THREE: local, state and federal.
@@anima94 Because balkanization is known to benefit countries and their citizens immensely /s
@cornflakes it does say *current day* there for that reason.

"They're unelected, and they can't be removed. That's how absurd the Supreme Court system is."
"They're unelected, and they can't be removed. That's how absurd the British Royal Family is."
What is a “conservative judge” exactly? Trump’s appointed a lot of them lately. I guess it’s better to announce one’s ideological bias up front? I thought the court was a neutral entity politically.
@@gking407 There are disagreements between different judges on US law. A "conservative," judge is one with a record of leaning heavily toward interpretations of the Constitution and the law favored by conservatives.
For example, a judge that believes abortion should be illegal would lean conservative on that issue. You can make similar judgments across most subjects in order to place different judge's political leanings over time.
After all, not declaring your political bias doesn't mean it goes away.
@@legendarybort01 they have no power.
@@legendarybort01 At least the Royal Family doesn't do anything. I'm in favour of electing the peerage. Perhaps give 10 seats to Scotland, 10 seats to England, 10 seats to Wales, and 10 seats to Northern Ireland; each sub-country would have 10 constituencies.
Farage loves Europe so much, he requested citizenship of Germany. Why does he never mention that to the Brits he's abandoning?
Because Germany turned him down?

@Juanito G he still could criticise and point out flaws of the EU while nigel completely ignores the ireland question or that two of the kingdoms want to stay.
@Juanito G Nigel is full of shit though.
That's like Stephanie Meyer talking about if Twilight is good.
I'm not from the U.K. but I did some research on this Nigel Farage, and for all his talk about the elites he seems to have more connection with the elite than the common folk. He's like Trump where they pretend to be "outsiders" and counter-elite, but they're part of the class of people with large of amount of concentrated power and wealth. He was born in a wealthy family, and his dad was a stockbroker. This is the kicker: He talks about "useless" degrees, but he doesnt have one. Why? Because he was able to leap frog pass university and was able to get a job as a commodities broker AT THE AGE OF 18!!!! He seems to be describing himself when talking about the European Union bureaucrat, so wtf is the difference? Leave the EU and the working class/poor still has to deal with the "faceless bureaucrats" of the UK government and the elites of the UK except leaving the European Union will most likely have a negative impact on their economy, right?
oh most the ruling class in the UK come from the same school (cough*Eton*cough).
sums it all
It's because when he was on the political stage, he portrayed himself as an everyday bloke off the street, usually by having a pint in local pubs.
Sources please. No baised sources would be a plus too.
Vinnie Chan Farage went to a public school too!
Joseph Szachor he went to Dulwich College
So Wales, Scotland and N.ireland should all leave the great British union immediately? I mean, they are being governed by people in London. People who don't even live in Wales, Scotland or N.ireland. RIGHT NIGEL.....RIGHT?

Brexit was caused by a exaggerated sense of britain's importance on the world stage just like the suez crisis in the 1950s. Unfortunately brexit will be far more damaging and difficult to reverse.

Brilliant video. It's always fun to point out that Farage as a member of the European Parliament fisheries commitee attended 1 out of 42 meetings to further British fishing interests.
The fact that he diddled money from them to fund his tinpot political party is also a good one to bring up. He's a greasy little shit.

Individual parliamentarians often find or make a little niche for themselves. No single individual in a national or the EU parliament knows it's entire body of law.
Parliamentarians are usually pretty chatty about their field. If you find the trains guy, they're most likely going to be happy to tell you why their ideas about trains are the best, and do so in greater detail than their party leader could ever do.

Hearing him yell about how "they" haven't done a proper day's work in their lives in the poshest accent available.... Ironic
Also “overpaid“ yeeeah like he isnt lmao
He has been photographed drinking real ale and therefore he is a man of the people despite his accent, name, background and interests
The last time Farage ranted about that, he was talking to an MEP who was an ex heart surgeon.
He's articulate but his accent isn't posh, let alone poshest available. He has a "well-spoken" working-class london accent. Btw I'm no fan of Farage, I just don't think he has a posh accent. Rees-Mogg has the poshest accent available.
@@FriedEgg101 His accent ain't working-class in the slightest. It's the standard Oxford English with just a dash of poshness. Mogg's on the other hand is an old timey, upper-class levek of posh, I agree with you there.

Living in Europe my experience is that the EU does make things a LOT easier and less bureaucratic as anyone will tell you who ever tried to order anything from outside the internal market. Friction and national bureaucracy takes over where the EU has not gotten to yet, such as cross-border investment and capital gains taxes.
Of course it wouldn't be a prageru video without taking a shot at "useless college degrees"
yes ive heard Farage talk about this it was highly anti working class retoric saying working class kids should just leave school and work hard and get a job in the financial sector trouble is nigel few working class kids had the same opportunaties as you and you generally nead a degree if you want to get out of a minimum wage job
Lol, does he not realise that his exact arguments could apply to Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish independence?
B Scott He doesn’t really care about those places. A recent poll revealed that most Brexiters would dump NI if it were to ensure that the rest of the UK would leave the European Union.
Arent the scots thinking of leaving again after brexit came up? They stayed because the uk was comforting but that would be gone after brexit. He doesnt even carte about the uk.
@@jonsnor4313 I'm Scottish and the independence movement is relatively strong. If a referendum was held it would still be VERY close. There was a rally I went to in Edinburgh in November of last year. Around 50,000 people attended.
B Scott Those arguments DO apply, I don't see your point. If people want independence they should be able to get it.
And risking tension, sometimes bloody ones
PragerU is fox news for impressionable millennials who watch youtube instead of TV
The only people I know that watch it are over 50
You know what? You're not wrong. Though, more for the Gen Z kids, since "millennial" are kind of 25 to 35 now. The target demographic is 18 to 25, before young adults realize the power of their vote, so they'll throw it away on continuing the establishment.
I think it's old people who watch both.

@@alexsmith2910 Possibly. I meant to say, that Gen Y adults are not the only target demographic, it's also a lot of trying to brainwash the next generation of potential voters. People "college-aged" have still not decided what their life-long political beliefs will be, and can be easily swayed.
Why do so many of the claims of brexiteers made towards the EU apply so much to England's relationship with Scotland as well?

You should treat Nigel with his full title: Seven-times-failed-MP-candidate Nigel Farage.
MEP and more successful businessman than you’ll ever be Nigel Farage. Leader of possibly the most influential party in EU representing Britain, after it’s conception just weeks prior Nigel Farage.
@@jameswall9040 Most influential national-level party, which is to say his party holds 3.86% of seats all told and can readily be ignored, especially because those seats will be empty more often than not. Also, Angela Merkel's CDU/CSU got an equal number of seats and about twice the number of votes.
Farage rarely attended the EU. He also secured German passports for his sons.
John - he was married to a German. If he was married to an Australian they’d probably have Australian passports. I’m just guessing.

@Luis D. _Did you not watch the fucking video?_
Luis, am I missing something?
@Luis D. He actually looked at facts, statistics and gave a very good near lecture on the politics of how EU works.
He also called PragerU out for what it is. A channel handing out misinformation as facts.
As he said. Watch the video. Actually pay attention. Look up the points he makes yourself too. Actually use that brain of yours.
@Luis D. and you're an insult to your icon.
Luis D. He debunked PragerU by showing how their video’s arguments are incredibly incorrect. Literally every argument Farage makes is bullshit.
Imagine the man who laughed at Scotsmen for wanting independence talking about government overreach
I'm not a socialist, more a liberal centre-ground voter, but boy do you make great videos. Rational arguments based on facts.
The biggest problem with Brexit is a lot of the leave arguments have been based around simplistic soundbites. The reality of leaving the EU is far more complex, yet much harder to defend in the same way. It takes time, context and detail. And the failure here has absolutely been down to current politics in the UK.
I don't think I've ever been so embarrassed (and concerned) by the British political system. This is not the country I grew up and spent most of my adult life in.
I couldn't agree more. It reminds me of this:
www.humantruth.info/SimpleButWrong.jpg
My thoughts exactly. I feel deeply embarrassed by just how poorly educated so much of our political leadership really is. David Davis admitted that he didn't even understand how Article 50 worked, even though he'd been flogging it most of his political career. The issue, I personally feel, is that the Leave campaign made the EU a lightning rod for gripes that are really about London and the central government. Economic stagnation, the erosion of local council autonomy and so forth. Unfortunately of course, good old fashioned nationalist xenophobia seems to have played a role too.
Same
MrDragon1968 exactly. You don’t have to be socialist in order to see nativist and nationalist rhetoric for what it is
He's got three arrows there, but I don't see him opposing commies much.

Could you not have put a warning that Farage was going to be in this?
Also, Farage should admit he's been an MEP pretty much in name only as he only turns up just enough to get his wages and claim his expenses.
Hahaha. *"Trigger warning: Nigel Farage"*
Genuinely though, yeah, a Farage alarm would've been nice. :/
Yes, he just sat there in parliament and nothing more. Not once did he ever look at the general political climate outside of parliament - during his everyday life - and use that judgement to formulate opinions that he expressed while in parliament, nope. He was just some robot that only turned on when parliament was in session.

Border gore is best gore.
It’s worth noting that the opposition to “big government” and social welfare that is rampant in the United States didn’t really appear until black people were allowed to use welfare.
Also something to ponder, some of the best gun regulation laws in america were passed in a state run by a little known Ronald Reagan. Why ? Cause there were too many black panthers with guns. (and honestly I understand, can you imagine a giant cat with guns ?)
Also, nobody cared about the use of drugs in America until advisors of the Nixon Administration began to scapegoat anti-war activists and the black community with drugs, and attempts at policing of said drug offenses were only done in minority neighborhoods and on minority people, a lot and the Reagan Administration began a crackdown on those communities while the same Reagan Administration funded death squads in Latin America that also helped drug cartels ship their drugs onto American shores.
The funny thing about the fishing situation is if anyone was in the position to improve the UK fishing industry it was Nigel Farage, who was on the fishing committee. But he only went to one meeting.

You can tell it's for American audiences as college is called university in the UK and college is a different thing.
In the US "college" is used to talk about an institution that only grants undergraduate degrees. A university is an institution that grants both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
In the UK, college is preparatory, while universities grant degrees.
In both instances, divisions of the university may be called "college of [x]", or something similar.
@@Falcrist Firstly, that may once have been the technical difference in the US, but it is not 100% the case today. For instance, Boston College confers graduate degrees. Indeed, the first two colleges I thought of, BC and Bard College, both have graduate degree programs.
That aside, if we look at just the colloquial usages, I think it is correct to say that the US uses "college" where the UK uses "university" (or just "uni.") For instance, this conversation might take place in the US:
Ann: Barbara, are you going to college this year?
Barbara: I sure am, and I'm really looking forward to it!
A: What college are you going to?
B: Boston University.
In the UK, the word "college" in Ann's dialogue would be replaced with the word "university" even if the school to be attended were BC rather than BU.
@@burke615 Your colloquial usage is incorrect. BOTH university and college are used interchangeably. Outside of casual conversation, "college" refers to a school that only offers undergraduate degrees. "University" refers to a school that offers graduate degrees.
Older universities may be named according to different rules... but that's also true in the UK, where colleges are supposed to be parts of larger institutions (universities)... except sometimes when they're not.
You can also tell it's not aimed at UK audiences because nobody here wants to look at Nigel Farage.

Rightwingers in America: "Big government bad! The government needs to spend more money on the police and military"
But not on the actual pay of soldiers/benefits for veterans/help for veterans with PTSD and disabilities, and for the police they believe none of that funding should go toward body cams and training for deescalation and tolerance or reform in general. All the money goes to the weapons industry
"I don't like faceless bureaucrats making laws for nations they don't even live in." Hmm, yeah. Imagine that. It'd be like British Colonialism or something.
Farage: "It's a conspiracy of the elites." Also Farage: Went to a posh, exclusive school.

My stance on Brexit: Please stop standing in the door, wasting our time, and finally decide if you want to leave or not. EU's got more important things to deal with.
The people of the UK are quite clear about Brexit. Sadly, our politicians have decided to delay our leaving, in the hope that the people who voted to leave (the majority) will simply give up.
@@whynot5443 1) 51.9/48.1 wouldn't be a clear decision in favour of what film to watch at the weekend, let alone the future of a nation.
2) "The UK" includes Scotland and Northern Ireland. They voted to remain - in the case of Scotland, by a greater margin than any region voted to leave.
3) We haven't left because not even the groups that voted to leave agree with each other on exactly what that means. We're stuck between the ones who fancy us having a functional economy afterwards and the gung-ho wrist-slitting morons who keep talking about "managed no deal", a concept analogous to pumping the brakes on the landing gear of a 747 as it slams into a cliff.
You're not even properly representing what's going on here. The champions of Leave have been driving the Brexit bus for 2 years now - the lack of progress is theirs.
@@Spunjji I said that Three Arrows was wrong to begin with the assumption that people voted to leave because of some vague idea of sovereignty, which was the thrust of the video he showed of Farage. People who voted to leave did so for many reasons, so, if Three Arrows wishes to portray himself as a speaker of the truth, he should have widened his sources. You are right to say that Scotland and N. Ireland voted to remain, however, this is not how a national referendum works, as you well know. A UK-wide referendum has to take each vote as equal to another and the majority of the people who voted in the UK voted to leave. The reasons for leaving are many, as are the reasons for remaining. However, the question on the ballot paper was to leave or to remain and people made their choice. We haven't left the EU because MPs from all parties and from both the leave and remain sides are pursuing their own political agendas, most of which have nothing to do with Brexit. It is not because they can't agree on what 'type' of Brexit we should have - most MPs are remainers, so they will never agree to any plan if it involves leaving the EU. In addition, the Labour Party seeks only one outcome - that of a General Election - and will do everything it can to achieve that goal. In short, all sides are playing games with the future of this country. There is a tendency to mock the people who voted to leave, as if they are not intelligent enough or wealthy enough, or young enough, to understand what they voted for. This is wrong and plays into the hands of the politicians who seek to manipulate the result of the referendum. We cannot live in a country that picks and chooses its democratic processes and outcomes. If we do so, no election results in the future will be considered valid - after all, which political party ever upheld the promises it made in its election manifesto? We are ALWAYS lied to, but sometimes we have to bite the bullet and accept that, in spite of its faults, our system is the only one we have.
17.4 million out of 46.5 million is 37.4%. There is no majority. If the data from the referendum is taken as a statistical figure (as it should be in the case of a non-binding, advisory) then the only thing it tells you is that the electorate it completely divided on the matter. My apologise to my European friends but the parliament is as divided as the people and the delay is it’s almost inevitable result.
@@whynot5443 No, you didn't say that. The comment I responded to doesn't contain those words, or indeed that argument in some other form. Your following post is one hell of a gish gallop - there is no reasonable way I can respond to every point you made, which has allowed you to hide a bunch of defective arguments, generalisations and outright falsehoods. Let's stick to the facts: we had an *advisory* referendum during which the Leave campaign committed several acts of election fraud to finance its disinformation. Leave won, and the government immediately insisted that the referendum be binding without presenting any logical argument why that should be the case. The people negotiating Brexit are representatives of the Leave campaign and yet they have created a plan so comprehensively terrible that it cannot get even a majority of Leave supporters behind it, let alone the rest of the country. Three Arrows is at no point condescending to Leave voters, but he does point out contradictions in the claims of its most vocal proponents. If that makes you feel attacked, you would be better off examining why than accusing everyone else of being mean to you.
PragerU vs. Reality: That's not an innovative video title! That's just true.
