Wait isn’t this exactly what democracy is, i.e some legislative body writing laws that apply to everyone? One might argue (perhaps especially in the case of the EU) that the legislative body doesn’t have public support some times. But that somehow laws are undemocratic because some fraction of the population doesn’t want them or doesn’t care? What’s the reasoning there? It’s even very common in a democracy to see lawmakers introduce laws that have a majority oppose them, because e.g it’s needed for society to function (tax increase would be the typical example that is rarely popular with 50%). I don’t care about half the laws in the book most likely. But I elect representatives I trust to make things I might not like too. Democracy. Also “billions”? These laws are m ass for half a billion Europeans and similar laws exist e.g in California. What’s going on with the rest of the billions it’s not really the concern of EU or California voters because … Democracy.
