Greece cannot pass laws through parliament without Brussels approval. Italy, effectively need to stay in-line with the EU's program otherwise the EU aid will stop... so effectively these parliaments vote whatever they're told by Brussels to vote.
> Yeah, some matters are also discussed at the EU level. That's what happens when different entities make and join a club. They have to collaborate.
I don't see much collaboration happening tbh (energy, immigration, etc.). I could point articles but I think we have a completely different view on how's Europe actually governed right now.
- arlort 4y agoYes, the Greek parliament can't vote to give itself other countries' money without their approval Not sure it could before joining the euro either though
