It is a fair argument that the EU has some democratic flaws. As a Brit I campaigned to remain in the EU. I would have been less resistant to the suggestion of leaving if our own democracy was strong. However in the UK we have a First Past the Post electoral system that straight up ignores a huge part of the electorate and a totally unelected second chamber with hereditary peers. It feels pretty ironic to suggest we should have left the reasonably democratic EU in order to give more power to our flailing democracy. I talked about this in the 2nd and 3rd videos on my channel.

@@Fummy007 well we did for all intents and purposes before brexit. Everything that mattered was under our control and the only stuff we legislated on at an EU level was stuff that simply made more sense to deal with at an international level.

That's true. The goal of our videos was more to explain how they work rather than exactly what they stand for. The TLDR-video is more focussed on the standpoints. Very worth while watching too.

Out of curiosity, do Czechs prefer to call their country "Czechia" over "Czech Republic" or does it not really matter?

Since 2016 Czechia is the official English short name of the country and is used in the EU and UN I believe. However, apart from such official aspects, I am not sure what Czech people generally prefer.

This was a choice we were wondering about. If someone watches only 1 of the parts, the intro should be there, so we kept it in. However, there are chapters in the video so you can easily skip past the intro:)

your map of Europe omits Kosovo

EU needs to go, making it stronger is the opposite of what we need.

What do you think the solution is? I imagine getting rid of the EU is just a step, not the endgame of your plan. Interested to hear your thoughts
