There is very real split between remain and leave
I think that is the problem. Currently stability isn't certain.
And its not getting any smaller
Its possible there can be huge country wide protests if may carries on with her current plan
I think ppl are w8tin for eu response
Because eu will not accept current proposal
But yeah its building up
Well.. Whatever happens over in Europe and the UK, eventually filters over to the US, so I guess "we live in interesting times"
Yep
Instead of leaving the eu the uk should work to reform it because the concept is a good one - its just the execution that sucks
Reforming eu is extremely hard to do tho
What you need is ppl movement spreading across borders
Like acta protests
They were effective because they spread all through the eu
One country on its own cant realy reform much at this point
You can't reform the EU because all of the EU laws are written by the executive in the European Commission - which is a bunch of unelected bureaucrats and civil servants.
Therefore the commission decides the direction of the EU.
Yeah this is nice show of the nararive power
And who apoints those bureaucrats ?
they appoint themselves...
They dont lol
They are appointed by elected representatives of eu countries
That much should be obvious
Ok but the executive is not appointed by MEPs.
Which executive ?
You mean eu commission?
Members of eu commission are appointed by member states
Each state appoints one
And then they grill them
the EU probably wont work because you're trying to align multiple systems of goverments, cultures, etc under a single umbrella
this was bound to happen once the honeymoon period was over
Well we will see
Its true there is some cultural friction rn
With east and west seeing things differently
But i think you can still talk things out
perhaps, but its much easier to talk things out as sovereign nations when you can go your own ways when you disagree, instead of being highly entangled
the best part of negotiations is being able to walk away
right now, you don't have that with the EU outside of a very intricate process (which has never happened before)
Well my country refused refugees
And got away with it
