- vrganj 3mo ago... appoint themselves? You are aware how governments are chosen in all member states? Are you calling into question the democratic processes of national governments? Either way, your issue is with national governments and not the EU, which curbs their excesses.
- int_19h 3mo agoYes, that's correct. I am calling into question the democratic processes of any so-called "representative democracy".
- vrganj 3mo agoI see. Thank you for sharing your views with us. I think they speak for themselves.
- vintermann 3mo agoFar from it. This is a classic example that national governments use EU to launder unpopular policy at home. "We have to, it's a EU requirement". It's hard to think it's not by design, that indeed EU is made to "curb the excesses" of popular accountability. UK played that game for decades, and it went as it had to go.
