Being a part of a bigger whole is worth much more than anything else in the world. As a part of a bigger whole, you are stronger financially, militarily, politically, medically, scientifically and culturally.

Sure, there are some sacrifices, there always are in life. However, the sacrifices for being a member of the EU when balanced against the benefits of the same make it one of the easiest decisions to make - only people that have been lied to think not being in it is better than being in it for any nation that has the option to be in it.

Rage? What a drag.

I am however annoyed when people think their whinny self-centered discomforts should somehow be relevant to anyone else.

Look at the bright side, because it can always be worse. Be content with what you have, and don't waste time pining away for something, that at the end of the day, won't make a difference.

Uniting makes sence indeed when looking at the future world. But atm it is abused with open border policies regarding immigration that just wipes our culture away, billions to the Paris agreement, bad deals with Turkey and Morocco, alot of this just goes to fast and the worse thing is nobody in the EU parliament has been democratically chosen. I mean just look at this corona stuff ( blessing to all that suffer and work hard to combat it ) ; there is little cooperation between countries. IF globalism is the future then I wish it would happen more gradually and democratically.

Are you sure you don't mean the European Commission?

The European Parliament is voted on in each Member State. It has been that way since 1979 - before which the governments of each Member State nominated representatives.

I'm sure you can't be referring here to the European Council, either, as that simply consists of the heads of government of each Member State. I doubt you would be referring to the Council of the European Union, either, as that is likewise a gathering of government representatives from each Member State.

So either you are talking about the EU Parliament pre-1979, or the European Commission in general. You can't be referring to the European Parliament as it is now, as that is demonstrably democratically elected.

To be fair though, you want the Commission to not be elected - the people have the Parliament that represent them (and that they vote for), the governments of each country have the Councils, which consist of members of the governments, but the Commission represents the EU as a whole.

If the Commission became an elected body, the EU would cease to function after around 20 years, as the only way the Commissioners are able to act in the best interests of the EU as a whole is due to the fact that they are not beholden to either the individual governments or individual citizens of the EU (each group of which has their own representatives), but rather are beholden the the idea of the EU as a whole.

In all honesty, I'm going to put your opinion here down to a lack of understanding how the EU itself functions (understandable, it is the most complex democratic institution in history), but that lack of understanding is coupled with direct misinformation (which, on a mass scale, these two things result in situations like Brexit).

@noaani I have got no wikipedia-level-knowledge of eu politics and neither do i argue the system you just described. All i know from the perspective of a hard working person that owns 2 small businesses is that the biggest part of our laws are now made in Brussel by people that most citizens dont know, never asked for, never voted for. Dont get me wrong, i beleave that the whole world will once be united, we have to.. that is why i started my first post about threats to humanity. The small scale effects of EU laws are just uncontrolled right now. Could i ask if you are from europe yourselve ?
Because I would like to explain what really bothers people here and revived the 'NEXIT' movement in NL: Besides cultural, financial changes and the fear of a european army (they say they won't but considering the following changes nothing will be a suprise) there are 2 main points that are to rushed and make no sence on the bigger scale which are immigration and climate change paris agreement. We have one of the best and most sophisticated farmers and fishermen in the world and alot of them r being laid down to lower farm emission rules. And these are different for countrys that lie next to eachothere. Recently the maximum speed on motorways went down from 130 to 100 km/h.. yes everywhere in the country overnight. to meet emission rules. While just kilometers away in germany there are long stretched autobahns without a speed limit. Not even to mention the subsidy on electric cars which is insane. Meanwhile China has near to no pollution laws and the continent of Afrika is facing a big increase of aiconditioners while economy's improve. Or the migration of which ofcource a part truely needs help but not everybody; gets a place to live with sport membership and 600 euro a month to buy food. Disrupting neighbourhoods. Delaying legal trials which are complicated if the country of origin does not accept back. Could give alot of examples of how crazy money is being thrown at these things.
Wall off text in short.. Imo yes standing as one human race is good if we want to acomplish bigger goals but please, in a controlled and fair global way.

See, this is wrong right here,

The EU can not pass any law that the European Parliament does not approve, and you vote for members of the EU parliament.

Your own national government has the power to enact almost any law they want, as long as it doesn't directly conflict with an existing EU law.

It's interesting that you bought up the Paris Agreement.

A very simple explanation of how that worked is that each country that agreed to it is then asked to set a target emissions reduction, and then report on it regularly. Each individual entity that has ratified the Agreement is then free to determine how they will attempt to meat their target.

Since both the EU and each EU Member State ratified the Agreement, the responsibilities of deciding where the emissions targets will be achieved was split between the EU and each nations government.

The EU's role in this was minimal, it only dealt with cross border issues (airlines and such). The reason the motorways in The Netherlands had their speed reduced yet those in Germany didn't is because the government of The Netherlands decided that was a good place to reduce emissions, and the government of Germany didn't.

Same with farming emissions - that was a decision on the national level, not the EU level.

You can't blame the EU for that, you have to blame Mark Rutte and his government.

Now, issues with immigration are real. This is a fact I won't argue. However, the first step of any answer to any political question this complicated is for the population concerned to educate themselves on the situation.

The problem with elected officials is that they are not going to ever be that much more informed than the general public that they represent. This is because of two reasons - first, those voted officials are pulled from that general public, and second, in order to be re-elected, they need that general public to understand that they are doing good things for them.

If the general public doesn't understand politics, they don't understand when a politician does a good thing for them if that thing is complex. So instead, politicians focus on doing easier to understand things (like building walls), simply because people understand it.

Basically, if everyone in a given electorate is overly politically literate, then the politicians representing them need to be exceedingly politically literate. If the electorate is somewhat politically illiterate, then the politicians representing them are most likely to get reelected if they focus on being popular rather than being good politicians.
