Difficult to explain. We vote for the parliament members. But it is like a second order election, a lot of people don’t vote. Once in the parliament they vote for things that you would never expect, like conservatives pro abortion. But somehow they are disconnected from us. We vote the parties mostly for what they do in the country, what they do in the EU is different and it is difficult to realize. Probably they just hide it (for example debates in the EU are rarely seen in the different countries, we just see the local parliaments). And this vonderleyen bitch, do not know where she comes from, no election at all for her.
The we have the European Commission, not there by vote. I don’t know what they do. Just fuck us
No. Here it is different. That thing you say happens within the country. With the “local” governments. And that happens probably in every country in the world.
But the EU is a different thing. It is like voting is just a masquerade (wrong spelling?). They have the highest power and the lowest accountability or control.
same crap everywhere, but in different ways. Here in US you got all kind of 3 and more letter commissions who seem to think they are the law. But in Europe they just seem to chose between themselves. That was already the impression I had when I lived there (you voted for party A which gained the election, then party B and C went together and had more votes together so you never had those you voted for)

it is like that here in the US
We vote for people that do nothing for the people they represent.
As Oblamer famously said "words just words" I think he pinched that line from some other bloviator

The EU is Leviathan writ large.
Sure miss that itsy bitsy baby Leviathan. Ol' Hobbes didn't know how humane his monarchy really was
Had he known, eh?
