With Ciceroni we seek to be a guide to European culture and history. We make videos on little known subjects as well as more ubiquitous ones, ranging from current affairs like the European Union, to historic events like the Tulip Mania, and even mythological stories like those of the Greek Gods. In all these videos we strive to present the subjects in a objective manner and within their complex context.

    The lack of coverage for the reformists in the media is criminal.

    It is peculiar isnt it.. You'd think a new movement should be covered at least a bit in the news.. I mean, it's called the news.

    Especially because a lack of coverage on possible reform but a lot of coverage on abandonment makes the EU appear as unreformable.

    I've seen brexit and similar movement supporters give the reason that they don't want other countries deciding on their policies and they want autonomy of their own government. Very less times, I've seen it be because of lack of democracy. The movements looking to exit EU will not be happy even if it becomes more democratic

    I'd love to vote for these guys, but I don't remember ever seeing them on a ballot in Ireland. Maybe they were there and I'd just never heard of them, but also the idea of being so beholden to the list of EU parties my local political parties pair up with is pretty frustrating.

    Countries with parliaments are in fact oligarchies (few lead). In order to be a true democracy, the decisions of the Parliament should be submitted to the approval of the citizens. The democratic aspect is a side effect in societies where economies have a strong competitive aspect, where the interests of those who hold economic power in society are divergent. Thus, those with money, and implicitly with political power in society, are supervising each other so that none of them have undeserved advantages due to politics. Because of this, countries with large mineral resources, like Russia and Venezuela (their share in GDP is large), do not have democratic aspects, because a small group of people can exploit these resources in their own interest. In poor countries, the main resource exploited may even be the state budget, as they have converging interests in benefiting, in their own interest, from this resource. This is what is observed in Romania, Bulgaria, when, no matter which party comes to power, the result is the same. The solution is modern direct democracy in which every citizen can vote, whenever he wants, over the head of the parliamentarian who represents him. He can even dismiss him if most of his constituents consider that their interests are not right represented

    This made me curious to search about the branch of this party from my country, Romania. What I found on their site made me sad. Full of blatant conspiracies presented in an aggressive and unprofessional way. I hope this doesn't sum up all of the other branches and it's only the case in this situation because of the socio-demographic reasons of the area.
