The need to decide in unity often was the last remaining safety saving European states form getting plowed under by opportunistic profiteers wanting to benefit from unwanted decisions in their favour, from money and economy, to migration and ideology.



I fear the day when simple majority decisions are enough when the states wanting to suck more in from their milk cow states that are net payers, or who want more centralised and EU statehood, can push this through just by clumping together and forming a rat pack biting those who have to pay for it or have to give up themselves. These things always work only at one direciton, its always only a one-lane street, and we can see it with the Euro already, where the net payers more and more lost their options in last years to block demands by net recievers for increasing budgets, giving the ECB ever more power it is by treaties not legitimated to hold, and to collectivise debts.


Fans of big state and deep state of course love simple majority, it gives ever so more power to the populists on the pro-EU side of things. Effective resistence to the block is no more possible then. Applause for this execution of unwanted resistence! brussels prevails!



Its exactly this inherent issue that makes me supporting Brexit and hoping that it becomes a successful challenge to the EU, motivating others to confront the block, too. Britain. Switzerland. Norway and Iceland said to be increaisngly unhappy. Right wing rising in many countries of the block in reaction to the ever growing eagerness of the eU to turn into one continental superstate and national parliaments having nothign to say anymore, rendering voters meaningless. They already are just nodding machines for over 90% of daily business.



Because what meaning has an election for an operetta parliament where several hundred million people should/could vote for other people from other countries about whose political estblishmenets they know nothing and about whose politicians they know not much as well? Its a perverting of democracy which originally was meant to self-adminster smallest possible communities at the very local, regional basis, at the very smallest cell imaginablee for economic/political adminstration: the "deme", consisting of as small an entity as even just one single farm. The eU wants to become the exact, the utmost opposite of this real meaning of democracy. It wants to abuse it as an alibi. Like China does. Like Putin does. Like Turkey does. They all have elections. They all talk of freedom and democracy. They all say "for the people".



Now it is up to the Europeans to swallow the very same poison pills. And those who hope they will get more money from it than they give into it, will love the idea. And demagogues of the the sickest kind will climb the ladders on the power hierarchies, becasue the more unscrupulous you cheta and lie and the smellier you stink the more entzsiastic people beoeuive youk, becasue they want to beleive all the fairy tales of miracles and wonder, glory and wekath, freedom and "the heavens pay for it".



Stupid germans. Damn freaking stupid Germans. Always on the wrong side of history and things. They seem to have a gene for it. I could pull my hair out over Germans, if I still would have some hair.
