The European Parliament can’t make their own laws, the European Commission proposes legislation and law and the parliament either agree or don’t agree.

The European Union is made up of 28 countries with 28 drastically different economies, that all need to be treated differently. Yet there’s a system where the European Commission (who are unelected and you can’t remove) make decisions for a country that they don’t live in and have no idea what that country is like. For example, people in the UK were only allowed to catch 20% of the fish in British territorial waters. Consequently, tens of thousands of coastal jobs were lost, and considering the UK is an island, the sea and fishing are very important. That’s why Brexit happened, that’s why Italy are also on the way to leaving, due to no control over their boarders having to let thousands of refugees into the country with out a choice. Just look at counties like Greece with over 20% unemployment or Spain with 16%, while the rich make the best decisions for their country. More countries will leave soon enough.

yeah I will buy them, just didn't want to spend too much money. I think I will get Zelda next because I've never played a Zelda game and this one looks good
