Playlist with all languages: • Is the EU Democratic? ...
Thanks to all the KZfaqrs who supported us!!!
Being a citizen of the European Union means that many aspects of our lives are regulated by a weird entity. It feels like a huge bureaucracy is making decisions over our heads. How democratic is the EU really and does your vote actually affect anything?

"Democracy is annoying, complucated, and often pretty boring." This is why a nation needs both a minimum of education in its population,and a national spirit in its population thats inherantly active in politics. As a citizen of a democracy, you have to by nature have a desire and will to take part in politics. Large and small. And all citizens gave to. If you dont, what you have is a weak foundation for your democracy. This is why the usa is questionably democratic. Its citizens didnt feel the desire to take part in politics. Only to not have their lives impeded by rulers. So it became more oligarcic then drmocratic. And now its citizens feel they have no powrr, reducing their desire to take part in politics more. Switzerland meanwhile has the directest democracy because over its 800 year existance, taking part in your nation's existance was a core part of its identity. And it still is.
@realkrzaku Жыл бұрын
The fact is that democracy is flawed at its core. Most people under democracy don't even understand what their vote means, let alone voting for the best options, which often doesn't exist. This means democracy is among the most flawed political systems, along with communism and socialism. Until we let only the people who know what they are talking about decide for the rest, we will have this god damn fucking shit show that we have now.

@@dirkbrand9859 Pros: - Freedom of travel and work between member states (For example: I can work in Germany while living in the Netherlands, which I plan on doing later) - Easier trade between nations and easier ways to get trade treaties between other countries - Peace. Europe is a continent that has been in a lot of wars and both of the world wars. The EU prevents this from happening again, because we're all technically united now Cons: - It's rather undemocratic. I can vote on the European parliament, but not the council of Europe or anything else. Those are selected by every country's government so you don't have a say in that - It's kind of weak. On the world stage, the EU is rather weak. They're too scared about doing something about Russia, because then they'll increase gas prices and stuff - We, the people who live in the EU, don't really know what goes on there. The politicians aren't well known and it has not even the slightest form of a direct democracy. If we really demand something, there's no way to reach one of the politicians to actually get the message through as far as I'm aware. We did try it and succeeded one time though Conclusion: Daniel is correct and the pros greatly outweigh the cons and because of that I'm very pro-EU/Eurofederalist
