Solve what problem? The problem of lobbies in general? No, it doesn't. The problem of EU lobbying, and inter-national divide-and-conquer? Yes, to some extent.

Solve what problem? The problem of lobbies in general? No, it doesn't.
The problem of EU lobbying, and inter-national divide-and-conquer? Yes, to some extent.
Framing this as politician's fallacy, action for the sake of action, suggests that lobbying won't be worse in the EU than at a local level. In reality, it's easier to consolidate a smaller same-nation population, than multiple international ones. Just look at how stereotypes are used to discredit - lazy greeks, racist little-englanders etc.

- icebraining 8y agoThat suggests further splitting up the UK would also improve the political situation; do you support such a proposal?
- Chris2048 8y agoYes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devolved_English_parliament https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devolved_English_parliament
- icebraining 8y agoThat's not exactly spliting up the UK.
- Chris2048 8y agoThen you'd have to tell me what kind of action my comments imply. Opposing consolidation of power over multiple populations who can only oppose it in aggregate is what I imply is bad, and discord / lack of unity among those populations gives umbalanced influence to that unified central power.
