- nephihaha 4mo agoThe taboo is the notion that the European Union needs to be reformed (no pun intended!). I was a Remainer, and do not regret that, but I hoped the EU would clean house. (Yes, the UK should do as well btw. Scotland should be independent. The House of Lords, Whitehall and Royal Family need a major overhaul.)
- AndrewDucker 4mo agoWhat reforms do you want to see from the EU?
- bojan 4mo agoAs someone who's pro-EU, I'd also really like to see major reforms within the organization. While it contributes enormously to the welfare of the continent, the EU is by design dysfunctional and toothless. I'm a pessimist, there is so much money behind the forces that want to see the EU fall apart because small individual countries are easier to buy off, I don't see how we can defend against that. We'll only know what we lost when it's gone, but then it'll be too late.

- ben_w 4mo agoIMO, the only thing that will contain Reform is Farage suffering consequences for misconduct. That or being overtaken by even worse people. The two things…
- henearkr 4mo agoIf so, there is some kind of hope.
