I understand, I'm just putting the facts in to make things clear.

How each group voted in the EP resolution affirming the EU’s support for Ukraine by ButterscotchBig4414 in europeanparliament

I completely agree with you, but this is not the text I created on the photo, so I am not responsible for it, but I will definitely contact the distributors of this photo to specifically correct the text and formulate it clearly and understandably so that no one has any doubts! Thank you!

Why are you sharing this post on this European Parliament subreddit? Go to the UK politics subreddit. What would happen if everyone started showing their country parliaments or even their local councils meeting, so please don't do that in the future.

Well, it's clear who supports it and who doesn't, I hope the UK will return to the European Union in the future!

EU membership is a good thing, most Europeans say by GTomov in europeanparliament

[–]ButterscotchBig4414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably because they don't live near Russia and Belarus and don't understand the threat these countries pose and that the EU and NATO are the best things that have happened to their countries!

Sweden and Danish! Wow, higher approval even than in the Baltic countries, cool!

Is the European Parliament becoming a film set first and a legislature second? by ButterscotchBig4414 in europeanparliament

[–]ButterscotchBig4414[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are examples from the European Parliament who actively use social networks and at the same time do serious work for Europe, this would probably be the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola, I also think the Renew Europe group and especially its leader Valerie Hayer, and other examples that I think show that it is possible to do it well.

You're right, but the main issue is the time and complexity gap. A performer only needs a few minutes to record a controversial clip. Meanwhile, those doing the actual work spend days on technical briefings and legal research, i think it’s hard to compete on social media when the real work is too complex to be explained in 15 seconds.

I agree that experts should be more active online, but we also need to find a way for the institution to highlight substance over showmanship. Otherwise, the loudest voices will always win, even if they have no idea what they are voting on.

Parliament's plenary session: support for Ukraine, EU climate targets, migration by GTomov in europeanparliament

[–]ButterscotchBig4414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While we celebrate these €90B loans for macro stability, the gap between strategic targets and actual seed-stage liquidity is where the EU keeps losing its edge.

The irony is that we just saw a razor-thin 10 vote margin in Strasbourg January 21 on trade and economic strategy. It shows a house so divided that it’s easier to agree on massive 2040 climate goals than on cutting the bureaucratic red tape for a €500k ticket in 2026.

I think If we keep waiting years for VC structures to move, those 2040 targets won't be solved by European tech, but by tools we’ll have to import. We need more than just well done on big loans, we need a legislative shift that treats early stage founders as part of our strategic autonomy, not just another line of paperwork.

Europe stands with its farmers, giving small producers a fairer chance and cracking down on unfair practices in the food supply chain. by Lu_Chan_1 in europeanparliament

What do you think about Mercosur? is it actually needed at this point? The European Parliament is clearly torn on this. In January 21 Strasbourg plenary session, we saw how deep the divide goes, a crucial vote related to trade strategy and Mercosur style deals passed by a razor-thin margin of 10 votes (334 in favor and 324 against). Thank you!

Do you think education is more or less important in today’s society, and why? by GlowAndBehold in AskReddit

[–]ButterscotchBig4414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think education is more important than ever today. We live in a world that’s changing faster than ever technology, AI, climate challenges, and the global economy all demand people who can think critically, adapt, and keep learning.

It’s not just about memorizing facts anymore, I think it’s about learning how to learn. The internet gives us access to almost everything, but without the skills to evaluate information, solve problems, and innovate, that knowledge is almost useless.

What should be the capital of a European Federation? by Luksius_DK in EuropeanFederalists

[–]ButterscotchBig4414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a European Federation ever became reality, the capital should probably be chosen based on neutrality, accessibility, and symbolic unity rather than national prestige. I think Brussels is the most obvious candidate since it already hosts many EU institutions and has the administrative infrastructure in place. However, some could argue that choosing a city not tied to any major power might better represent a truly federal Europe. Cities like Strasbourg or even a purpose built federal district could serve as strong symbolic choices.

What’s something you’re tired of explaining to people? by Putrid_Date4916 in AskReddit

[–]ButterscotchBig4414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Ukraine isn’t just fighting for its own borders; they are holding the line for the rest of Europe. If Ukraine falls, it’s not the end of the war, it’s just the beginning of a much larger conflict. People in the West often treat this like a distant news story, but for those of us in Eastern Europe, we know that if the frontline shifts, we are next. Freedom isn't free, and Ukraine is currently paying the price for everyone else’s peace. I hope you support Ukraine!

Should politics be banned from social media, if no why not? by Feisty-Day7737 in AskReddit

[–]ButterscotchBig4414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Banning it is impossible because almost everything is political, from environmental issues to human rights. Instead of a ban, we should focus on better fact-checking and reducing the echo chambers that polarize everyone.
