It seems an easier job to un-fuck UK specifically than the entire EU. It's easier to convince a relatively small island that a certain law is stupid than the entire continent.
- sparkie 8y agoAs mentioned elsewhere in this thread, it is not just about convincing people, but also having an avenue for repair once they are convinced. The UK can mend existing laws by voting in a new parliament who pledge to carry it out in their election manifestos - unless of course, they are lying sods like they current government who are betraying people by doing the opposite to what they pledged. EU citizens have only one option: To beg. They do not have an avenue for repealing laws because the people who make the laws are not accountable to them. They are not elected, and they can't be voted out. The people elected by EU citizens are merely a defense mechanism who can reject bad laws that the unelected might propose, however, bribes can certainly solve that problem. What the commission wants, the commission gets.
