Getting rid of the veto power would pretty much turn the EU into a dictatorship, where the interests of the core wealthy nation would override the interests of the less wealthy nations. The veto power should remain for key domains, such as fiscal policy, foreign affairs and a few others. The only reform the EU needs to go through is a decentralization effort, with more power to the member states than to Brussels.

@lVideoWatcherl

16 күн бұрын

@Kalimdor199Menegroth Your last point is antithetical to what the EU wants to be. It _is_ an 'ever-closer Union'. Transferring continuously more power to the EU _is_ the point; and it is also the main advantage of the EU, necessitating that no European country can just go off and do their own, very harmful thing - but also, common law and regulation allows for a largely transparent market force facilitating trade like nowhere else over so many country's borders. In the other hand, it is a democratic institution. Thereby, it _should_ follow democratic principles largely. The more pressing issue is actually that the smaller states hold the EU hostage with the Veto. The Veto should be gone - as it stands, the EU cannot hope to continue, because as soon as one state falls into dictatorship, the EU has no recourse, since it cannot kick members. The smaller states get plenty of benefits through EU membership, and they are even overrepresented in the EU parliament. If the Veto being gone would be such a huge Deal for them - they should, indeed, leave the EU. The institution, if it wants to work long-term, needs commitment to it. That means options for the EU to protect itself, like a vote to kick members, which fundamentally necessitates getting rid of the Veto.

@@lVideoWatcherl What the EU wants to be does not matter. What matters is what the nations comprising the EU want it to be. I do not want more power to be transferred to a far away kleptocracy. We used to have this back in Soviet times when Moscow was our Brussels. We don't want them. Power should be closer to the citizen, not farther away. Otherwise we got back to the imperial period. All nations within the EU should have the power to do what they want and their interests need to be preserved, and not discarded. If the EU wants to retain a semblance of democracy, then the veto power must remain. EU is not a democratic institution. It presents an illusion of democracy because the EP is elected, but the EC is named and holds the real power. The only time when the EP has more power than the EC, is when the EC is named, based on the EP majority post-elections and that's it. We Eastern Europeans compare this system with the Supreme Soviet-Politburo system, which was very similar. The Supreme Soviet was only more powerful than the Politburo only when they were naming the members of the Politburo. After that, any resolution taken by the Supreme Soviet had to be approved by the Politburo to be anything more than a recommendation. Which is exactly the system that the EU has. "The more pressing issue is actually that the smaller states hold the EU hostage with the Veto." And they have the right to do so if their needs and interests are not addressed. In international relations, there is no democracy per se, so veto power must be a prerogative for any sort of good relations between nations. The veto should stay, and actually be expanded to include more domains. For example, nations that do not want to be forced into adopting LGBTQ+ ideology should be allowed to veto. Nations that do not want to engage in climate alarmist policies and assassinate their economies, should be allowed to veto. I am not worried about states falling into a dictatorship, because the abolition of veto power will turn the EU into a dictatorship. The veto power is the only leverage smaller and medium sized nations within the EU to counter the Franco-German interests. If this is done away with, these countries can just buy off votes through lobby power and crush any dissent or opposing view, ensuring the creation of a new continental dictatorship. The Fourth Reich basically. We do not want that. If the EU can only function by transforming itself into a dictatorship, then we shall work hard to destroy it from its foundation. If it cannot be reformed, then it must be destroyed. Which is why we vote the far-right overwhelmingly and anti-establishment parties. The EU has crossed a few red lines, and is turning into a illegitimate superstate. Which is not what was envisioned by the founding fathers, nor what was promised to the nations before they joined. We did not vote to join a new Soviet Union. I would never trust a German, an Irish, or a Portuguese to tell me how to govern my country, what values should I uphold and what is good for me. And I think you would not accept either.

Support the reunification of Moldova with Romania and we can agree on that. Ukraine joining will simply lead to Russia chipping away at the E U the same way Romania chipped away at the Austrian Empire in order to take back Transylvania. Also UA is not winning against RU, so don't hold your breath for a pro-EU UA.

I mean, how open will the EU be to reintegration with Britain, really? The UK has proven to be a bad, unreliable partner. Any deal negotiated with a competent government that somehow got into power could be shredded when the Tories get back in again. Europe needs a good couple decades to forget how bad it is being in a relationship with Britain.

As much as I wish it were different, normalising UK/EU regulations are pretty much all we can really expect in the next government. To my mind the 'outright rejection' of the proposed 'youth mobility scheme' is a mistake but then again, so was Brexit. Unfortunately it seems that Starmer and the rest of the Labour leadership are living in fear of the Brexit supporting sections of the press.

UK needs to meet the Copenhagen criteria first. This will require deep constitutional reforms, which in turn will require a strong mandate (not 52%, not 55% - rather something close to 75%).

Any rapprochement would have to come from the UK and it would have to make it worthwhile. And having another Orban-like spoiler coming next time the UK kippers have a bellyache is not worth it. One should remember that a little thing like an Art.49 undertaking to join the EU just needs one veto. De Gaulle did it before, and he knew what he was doing.

If the UK rejoined the EU now they would have to follow the same rules as everyone alse. If they felt that it was unfair for them before with all the special treatment they were given, they will hate being members even more now.

Slowly, yes. They have been very clear and open about closer-alignment. When you poll people about returning to the EU, polls most frequently show rejoining is supported. However that is based off of actually 'rejoining' as we once were, with our own currency and position. The EU is not likely to allow that to happen and treat us like any new member, meaning we lose some of our old perks. That's when polls reject rejoining the EU. That said, those polls are also swinging closer to favourship of rejoining too. It's been just 5 years and look how far opinion has come. Give Labour 10 years of power and rejoin is going to be heavily supported and could save the party from inevitable collapse like the 2016 referendum had done for the Tories for leaving.

I think a Labour government will be very wary of scaring off people who voted for Brexit in the so called “red wall”, even though I believe Starmer and the rest are positive about the EU. I suspect they will quietly try to negotiate deals to bring us closer to the EU without joining the customs union or the single market, whether the EU will agree to that is another matter. Personally I believe that leaving the EU has been an economic disaster which has damaged countless businesses and cost us a fortune. I really hope that once labour has been in power and (hopefully) things are improving they start a campaign to persuade people of the benefits of getting as close to the EU as possible. I hope we will rejoin eventually, although personally I can’t see that happening until the Tories finally defenestrate the Brexiters; the EU wont allow us back until both main parties want to rejoin.

On the maps showing the EU vs. UK (e.g., at 2:04), why do you show the Faroe Islands the same color as the UK? Both are outside the EU, but the Faroes are a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, not the United Kingdom.

For any future UK government - of whatever colour - to 'reverse Brexit', the EU holds all the cards: a) Brussels will regard any bid to rejoin as accession to the Union b) There must be appetite in Brussels to kick off the accession process c) There must be appetite here to have yet another referendum!! d) Accession process takes several years, probably more than one parliament e) Any attempt to fast-track risks pissing off any other countries aiming to join f) Brussels can and will dictate all the terms - no special deals/ opt-outs previously granted, or some form of 'associate membership' g) UK will be committed on areas such as social chapter/ eurozone/ ever-closer union/ full economic convergence/ freedom of movement in all categories/ supremacy of the ECJ in all but reserved matters. Starmer might secure some 'closer cooperation' agreements in a few policy areas, but they would need to be reciprocal. I believe this is the most he can hope for to make Brexit work. He might try 'doing a Norway/ Switzerland' re single market/ customs union, but those EEA countries achieved that against a very different political backdrop. I reckon time for another referendum is in 25/ 30 years, once we know what UK and (as importantly) the EU look like then.

I agree with everything you say except I'm not sure that it will take another 25 years to have a referendum. It's been 8 years since the last referendum. In 10 years it will be 18 years since the last referendum. 18 years mean that a lot of the older pro-Brexit voters will have died and been replaced by young pro-Europe voters. Plus already so many formerly pro-Brexit people have seen how badly it worked out and now think Brexit was a mistake so almost every place in Britain is already majority anti-Brexit. The only thing is that I don't know if Europe would have any interest in taking Britain back so soon and going through all the complications of approving Britain.

I think the difference is that, unlike the French, Belgians, Dutch and Germans, the UK still has very friendly relations with some of it's old colonies (some, but not all. Sorry India). There are still pretty close cultural and familial ties, especially to Australia and New Zealand. The Commonwealth, although not apparently politically relevant, it also a very friendly forum. So it's not really 'mourn[ing] "the Empire"' that is the problem, so much as the UK having a lot of competing interests. Permanently severing all links between the UK, Australia and New Zealand is a bit like asking Norway and Sweden to permanently close their border again. It's doable, but it would make a lot of people upset. That being said, the UK is also a European nation, so it is right that it should be a part of the EU, just as Serbia, Montenegro, Northern Cyprus and a unified Georgia should be too. The UK is culturally and politically closer to Western Europe (at least in terms of values), than say the USA. So there's a lot of common ground. In short, it's complicated, and unpicking the mess is going to require a lot of soul searching in the UK.

Probably the best FTA the EU has ever granted a 3rd country. But the CHANGE IN ATTITUDE and a commitment to remaining as aligned as possible will do EVERYTHING to start turning the ship around.

You can turn your ship around and head in whatever direction pleases you - doesn't mean you can dock in your preferred harbour 🇪🇺😎.

@@EllieD.Violet Your anger is not going to stop British people fighting for a united Europe.

are you planning on doing a TLDR on each of the UK party manifestos as they're published in the run-up to the election? Perhaps with an umbrella vid at some point to highlight the main differences between them? Would be v much appreciated!

It's disingenuous to say that the EU aren't interested in re-opening talks when the agreement's own terms state that it has to be reviewed in 2026. Regardless of whether we or the EU *want* those discussions, they will be happening. The idea of "getting Brexit done" was always a lie.

Can't rejoin EU, no way will EU countries will want to lose the Brexit Benefits

which is what exactly? I'm pretty sure they'll be happy to have the UK rejoin for the following reason: a) shows all current members how much of a failure leaving is b) they'll get the UK back but we will get little to no exclusions like we used to c) the UK will be a big net funder d) its the ultimate goal of the EU to get all European countries under its wings e) it militarily and soft power wise makes the EU much stronger

Europe has had near zero growth for over a decade, war on its doorstep, rapid rise of the right, etc. There are no Brexit Benefits for anyone.

@@mdl2427 EU need to set an example, EU cannot be rejoined like a bus ticket in just a mere few years. They also don't needto let UK rejoin to show how much of a failure Brexit is , Brits have been whining about it already with a dying economy

The EU mobility scheme was the most positive & brightest news since the Referendum & yet within a day it was quashed by both parties. Expected from the Tories but the fact that Labour cannot offer a glimmer of hope to young people, the majority of which want a return of some form to the EU & instead want to maintain this absurd road of Brexit is extremely disappointing & unforgivable

That mobility scheme did not allow the Brits any mobility, that's why it was quashed. It's easy to be on the inside laughing it up while thinking those you've peesecuted will be okay with deals that only benefit you (and only some of you at that).

Brexit can never end, it will go on and on and on
