Handing over significant degrees of sovereignty to unelected EU organisations in the Treaty of Lisbon without popular consent - in fact - directly against popular consent (France, Netherlands etc), was by far the most 'self destructive' act in modern politics.
The dint on the UPC and other EU organisations due to this, is a function of the existentially problematic manner in which the EU was formed.
Europe would work much better with a series of consistent bilateral treaties on issues such as patents and regulations, instead of trying to be a Federal Superstate led by the Chancellor of Germany ... who incidentally chose Urusula Von Der Leyen, not the electors, who didn't even know who she was literally at the time they voted. If that fact alone is not cause enough for revolution.
- madaxe_again 6y agoYou evidently do not understand the purpose of the European Union, and your populist nationalism is showing - do up your fly. The EU has one purpose, and one purpose alone: obviate the possibility of war in Europe. I’ll take a bit of bureaucracy over killing fields and concentration camps, but hey, I guess that’s just me.
