People forget that the EU is a Union of European Citizens. :D

 @IzzyOnDroid @BillySmith Well, the lobbies are definitely part of the problem but the member states have those too, what makes the EU unique are questionable cases of double representative democracy if you ask me! ;)  Most of the lobbies, are the remnants of where the EU was started, as a trade cartel, that evolved into what we have today. :D It's just another continuation of the Enlightenment extending towards all of the peripheries of empire. :D It's a good start, but it's just another step on the way to creating The Culture. :D @BillySmith @IzzyOnDroid I would say the immense power of lobbies are a part of all member states and more of a sing of our current age of too big to fail mega cooperations. It's facinating and impressive how much more the EU is nowdays but you are right, there are many areas where you notice the rather extreme focus on trade over everything, still without them we would all have catasrophic laws that the EU court prevented! Yes. :D That side of the EU Courts, and the rights that exist for EU Citizens is great. :D Now we need to roll them out everywhere. :D @BillySmith @IzzyOnDroid True, one majore destructive facotor is the EU itself tho, many of the trade deals have extras that should definitely be illegal like pushing all of the liability to the tax payer and guaranteeing cooperations damage replacments if E.g. glyphosate infected wheat from Canada can't be imported anymore, that's the outragous side of it all! As for others that's a tough question, our trade deals definitely won't save them and their couts don't seem tp do so ether. :/ @BillySmith @IzzyOnDroid Pro tip: Don't look closer at the Pfizer deal, that's the biggest scam I have seen in a long time! ;) Those elements started to be brought in when the Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty was being negotiated, and have since become part of the standard ask-for in trade treaties. |
@BillySmith that's the theory, yes. So let's throw out the lobbies, shall we? So it's finally "we, the people" defining how we want to live and be governed? 🤪
