The problem is the obfuscation. It's another layer of politics to allow political parties to do what they want. This proposal doesn't work locally? Make it an EU level thing. Part of the problem is how a lot of EU countries work. A parliamentary system means that the parties that create the coalition in the national government have a majority in the legislature, therefore they will control the executive. The executive then appoints somebody to the EU commission. These parties then make up EU-level parties too in the EU parliament. In essence, it's the same groups of people that push politics on both levels. This is International Agreements 2.0, where politicians can use external methods to bypass local policymaking.
