You have “centralised democracy”, a form of democracy where decisions, once debated and adopted, are implemented uniformly throughout an organisation. They are not debated a second time, and there’s no room for dissenting against decisions already made. It’s a double-edge sword though: if something you dislike gets votes, it’s never going away.

Yes, if I don't like something, I can't just ignore it. That is called democracy, and rule of law. Democracy is often interpreted to mean only things I like get passed, but that is incorrect.

> They are not debated a second time, and there’s no room for dissenting against decisions already made Of course they are and of course there is. The "EU passed a temporary derogation" to the ePrivacy Directive in 2021 "called Chat Control 1.0 by critics" [1]. That is now dead [2]. > if something you dislike gets votes, it’s never going away Weird to be saying precedent is infintely binding in 2026 of all years.

  The EU parliament can't retract existing laws if the EC doesn't agree and proposes a law doing it.

  The sentence which you are quoting is referencing the concept described in the previous sentence of the same paragraph. It is not describing the EU’s form of democracy.
