Then that directive changed it into actual writing

Rather than just the ECJ court ruling

I'd imagine that's why it wasn't voted on

Because it was de facto already A, in effect and B, agreed upon

Probably should have voted on it really tbh

no these were just precursors to the lisbon treaty... which was in 2007

This legislation is still in effect

The implementation of Directive 2004/38/EC

The directive has been beset by problems and controversy, with evidence emerging of serious shortcomings in implementation and continuing obstacles to free movement, as highlighted by Commission reports and Parliament studies on the application of the directive, infringement proceedings against Member States for incorrect or incomplete transposition, the large volume of petitions submitted to Parliament and the considerable caseload before the CJEU. The criticism raised by some Member States in 2013-2014 on the alleged abuse of free movement rules by EU citizens for the purposes of ‘benefit tourism’ led to discussions at EU level on possible reforms, in the meantime set aside after the decision of the UK to leave the EU.

"The decision by the UK to leave the European Union has deprived free movement of one of its main critics, while an agreement between both parties is still under negotiation."

its main critics.... well.. yeah... considering everyone is moving to the UK... how could it not be the main critic 😛

Looks like this was approved by the parliament as well

if 3mil people moved to poland... im sure poland would be the biggest critic...

if if if 😉

Not happened 😉

thats.... my point.... :/

When was that written do you know?

when was what written?

That big block of text

Just

Why the hell is the irish backstop so important

Ireland is not in the UK, either get in or have a border, reee

because of the good Friday agreement

the fear is that they will sperg out and become explosion again

Quick question: can we declare the EU illegal because it infringes on national sovereignty therefore infringing on parliamentary sovereignty?

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898> <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898> <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898> <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898> <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898> <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

no because parliament voted for the treaty of the EU

and now theyve voted heavily to enact a50 so by law they have to leave

rachel riley is trending ... mmmm rachel riley

Guy Verhofstadt says we need a EU Empire because the politics of the future will be decided by empires.

Almost like we have gone back to the 18th/19th century

What’s old is new again

Well technically the *EU* can declare war and use its forces already under its control. But it cannot force other nations to declare war @Guns_Blazin

Sorry Jack

Interesting

Accurate @Hiddenhope

If Europe wants to be a major player in world affairs then we need to unify under an 'Empire'

When compared to China, America, India, the African union, etc.

Population is increasingly becoming a bigger and bigger factor

All together the EU has the same (If not similar) population as the USA.

And unified the EU would have the 2nd largest economy

But alone, we have little influence and power.

Honestly unite Europe but not under the EU commission

Agreed

If the commission president was elected like the US one and builds the cabinet the same way go for it

I just dislike it for other reasons 😉

The EU could and should move to this once it consolidates into an actual nation

That will take another decade I'd imagine

Probably

Economic stability is required first

Which requires HEAVY growth / investment in Eastern Europe

I can see why they need these shady figures to quietly build to one goal

To get them to similar levels as the West.

One Trump figure as head would ruin the decades long plan

Probably yeah

It would destroy decades of work so far

It's the downside to democracy

Long term plans are almost impossible

Exactly Jack <:powerful:595334910764515338>

It's a fucking miracle the apollo program survived 3 presidents

That was a little different

The republicans supported it because it would 'one up' the USSR

The democrats because it was useful science

*I think*

Anyway, gtg

I dont trust anyone with an haircut like Verhofstadts

Id rather go the other way... give more power to individual constituencies within the UK

as little interference from government as possible

also if the EU become some super union... wouldnt that make NATO mostly defunct

I think it would be better to centralise power in Westminster instead of Brussels or Local Areas

there would still be a Westminster for overall stuff... just saying most power should go to local constituencies

like things to do with everyday life... low level regs
