haha, very funny. I think you are 100% correct if we invert every statement you made. Out of curiosity, how would you implemnt this "policy" that it wouldn't be "implemented poorly"?
As for being corrupt and anti-EU, I have to say in recent decade at least there has been no other group of politicians more incompetent, corrupt and anti-EU over the EU commision itself. From the botched/corrupt "green new deal" that resulted in complete dependency on Russian hydrocarbons and resulted in another war in Europe, through the "pay Turkey for the problem to go away" mediterran refugee "solution", to complete ineptitude at the first 6 months of the pandemic and basically leaving Italy on its own, culminating in illegal witholding of funds to member states that elected parties opposed to the current option in Brussels.
However, what truly destroys EU is not even the above, but the lack of respect for the rule of law amongst the top officials. They have their goals and no matter what, they will do anything to reach them. For example they want more integration and a federal state. They proposed it fairly some years ago as an EU-Constitution and it was demolished in referendums. Instead of giving up, hearing the democratic choice and going the direction the sovereign(the people) told them to they then proceeded to implement it another way over people's heads(It was supposed to be implemented in the treaty od Lisbon). However, those treaties have to be unanimous, and some countries didn't want to essentially be ruled by the biggest countries so it got watered down back then. Then they realised it is impossible to implement this goal in accordance with the rule of law, so what they are trying to do now is twofold. First, throw out unanimous voting in favor of majority vote so smaller country objections can be disregarded. Second, bully countries that disagree by illegal witholding of funds.
We're very near the end of the EU, and it does make me sad because I still believe in the ideas that led to it in the first place: free market for goods, travel and work, shared values and work towards common goals between member states - not bully eachother or sell other member's state's security for financial gain.
At least in my generation 10 years ago I would think 95% people would consider themselves very pro-EU, now, unless the current political class GTFO promptly I don't see EU being a thing in next 10 years.
- permo-w 4y agodid you notice that no one chimed in to say "yeah we have this same problem in [my EU country] too!"? the reason for that is that - as usual when people are criticising the EU - it is in fact your government's fault, and your politicians/news media/nationalist friends are using the EU as a scapegoat for their own (nation's) incompetence/corruption
