They're a lobbyist group. Lobbyists on our side, but they still are fighting for one tree in the forest of governing.
Policy is often a trade-off - sacrificing one good for another, and the EFF fights for only a few goods. In this case, I don't feel the EFFs concerns outweigh the benefits of the TPP, though obviously it's a lot bigger than that.
I don't think we can say just because the EFF supports an action, it is something we should do. But they should still fight for their trees to the end, even if we decide not to support it.
