@iancredible- "Everyone gets to vote and the majority wins, that's democracy.” Agreed. This is not the case in the EU at the moment. If 2 countries don't follow the rules they agreed on with their 25 partners, majority does not win. I agree with you that this should be enforced. "What the E.U is trying to do is give power to the council so that they can make a rule, it automatically becomes law and if anyone disagrees with it they get cut off from funding - that's a dictatorship.“ No, EU is a union. When 2 countries do not play by the rules they agreed on, they must face the consequences. This is not "dictatorship", this is just commonsense. “You have to be really brainwashed to give that sort of power to unelected bureaucrats and be fine with it.” You just show that you don’t know how EU works. “….if you think the E.U is so democratic when did you vote for Merkel or Verhofstad to be in?” Germans voted for Merkel. Belgians voted for Verhofstad. Like, in your country, you don't vote for the MPs of other constituencies but for the one of yours, I voted for MEPs and president of my country. “When did you get to vote for Von der Leyen?” When did you vote for Boris Johnson? I voted for my country’s MEPs and President, who voted for Von der Leyen, like your MPs vote for your Prime Minister and not you directly. This is called “indirect elections”, not “dictatorship”. “In my case if our government tries to put something in place we don't like, as normal citizens we can petition it and have it removed before its even become law or even if it has been made one and also when someone messes up we can vote them out which keeps the others in line.“ Same for the EU. There are just more people involved, like in the USA or India. “You enjoy your enslavement and enjoy your "mutual debt" and "refugee quotas"... Er I mean "solidarity".” Enjoy the consequences of the Brexit!

@iancredible- what you call a "tyrant" is actually "democracy". The majority of countries in the EU voting for something should apply to all countries. It is the way used in the UK that led to Brexit. Half of the population bested the other half, and the decision applied to everybody. This is unfortunately not the case today in the EU, where some rogue gouvernements can throw away treaties they signed and go away with it. This is unacceptable and will not be accepted.

@iancredible- "EU is a dictatorship, because it is". That's the worst argument I ever heard. 🤨 The rest of your rambling is just a massive strawman and a mess of conspiracy theories. One example? "...you can only elect pro EU governments." That is utterly stupid. All countries in the EU are democracies. People can elect any government they want. But these gouvernements don't have the right to turn into dictatorship. As pointed above by Qinby 1, EU protects the rights of EU citizens. I'm done. Stay in your echo chamber, fight your windmills all you want, hunt your unicorns. I pity the British people, who has to do with your kind. All the best to my British friends in the automotive industry, who will be unemployed if no deal is agreed, as all car factories will close down, as announced by their CEOs.

@iancredible- You call others "morons", "brainwashed", "slaves" and display once again that you know nothing of how EU works, its institutions. You CAN call a petition in the EU. And, even if you could not, it would not make of the EU a dictaturship. And yes, if a nationalistic government, even democratically elected, is not allowed to break the treaties that bind EU countries. So far, you just spout your heinous propaganda and display your ignorance. EU is a tyranny because… reasons. And everybody who does not agree with you is dumb, because they don’t take your word for it and – worst! – they dare tell you that you are wrong, and why. “brainwashed” is what comes to mind…

@iancredible- no, you yourself admitted that it is democracy, the majority wins. Is it different in the UK? No, England voted for Brexit and other countries, like Scotland, had to follow. UK is no more democratic than the EU. You show again you don't understand what a democracy is, and how it is defined...

@iancredible- no evidence, just your baseless assertions. For you majority in UK = good = democracy , majority in the EU = bad = tyranny. When UK bullies Scotland, that's democracy. When EU bullies Hungary, its tyranny. In your mind, EU should not have any power, because... reasons. OK, that's your feeling, your guts, no reasoning. We'll go nowhere, I cannot argue with that. You cannot understand what the EU is, what is all about. Have a nice day.

@iancredible- yes, after all, why bother if a country employs children or slaves in their factories, as long as it is good value? Why check if they don't empty their sea of fishes, pollute their rivers or cut their woods bare, as long as you buy cheap? Business is business, after all... 😥😥🙄😣

@iancredible- obvious conspiracy theory. No evidence, nof facts to back it up. You are lost in the dark side of the Force, man...
