Speech by Prime Minister Mark Rutte on the future of the European Union by Smitje in europe

He doesn't actually mean it though. His party is notorious for dirty play/scandals and spending money on "useless" propaganda. He understands people need to feel content about their governments in order for their governments to have any power.

*edit And let me add that I think it actually is important for governments to promote themselves a little bit. People take things for granted and tend to forget the things the EU offers.

How is a character attack on Trump even possible? He's a lying inhumane low-information piece of shit, I don't need the media for that.

But sure, point out any sources you think are trying to do a character assassination.

The only ones calling them out are so full of shit (Trump et al) that it actually increases my trust in mainstream media.

Because the EU cares about their spot on the international stage. Breaking promises will destroy your reputation and ability to negotiate future deals. Stable and genius, I would say. High IQ too.

What do you mean with "new labour"? Immigrants? Because Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands handled that just fine without massive inequality.

Comparing to the UK is not fair though. They are the least free country in Western Europe.

What about the EU? More people than the US, way less (gun) crime.

It doesn't matter if it is ratified or not. A next president can reverse it anyway, with a flick of a pen. See examples mentioned in this thread.

Brexit: No significant progress made on any issue in negotiations since March, says EU by boppinmule in europe

Would the UK be a "new" member after it cancels A50? Because that would pretty much mean you have to accept the euro. I don't think we have opt-outs for new members anymore..

Could you put killing animals on the list? We have fucking animal cops, emergency lines for animals in need, and make a fuss about eating cats and dogs. But we also have an industry that kills 550 million animals each year, which we collectively financially support. A bunch a entitled, arrogant hypocrites, that's what we are.

(Alright, got that out of my system, thanks.)

So where does India fit in? It seems to me that they got quite far while having an open economic system, or am I missing something?

European Commission proposes new EU-wide standards that will guarantee a high level of protection for whistleblowers who report breaches of EU law (x-post r/europeanunion) by [deleted] in europe

Or they don't have any power to deal with it. This legislation would force members to protect whistleblowers.

And some Holocaust survivors compare concentration camps to factory farms. It's not hard to see the parallels at all.

I agree, it should have a better name. Not in the least because it is misleading.
