@lucky luk Had to look it up then, didn’t you? But anyway, our delegates quickly forget all about homeland affairs in the shower of luxuries, superfluous salaries, bonuses and amenities – every single one of them!
It’s a bad habit you have, accusing me of thoughts I never had instead of addressing the point I was making. Straw-man arguments and deflections aren’t for real people, it’s for propagandistic media and cheating politicians. I’m not debating what Americans should or shouldn’t do. Washington DC was just an example of lost coherence. Historically Americans work through all their challenges by way of expensive blunders, persistence and lucky breaks, but trial and error every time. It is a very young nation, barely a teenager yet, compared to most European countries…

@NeverEverII Turkish voting rules is of no concern to me and if you really are fully »European«, why would you care? You can’t have two masters, and you being on the fence about Turks living abroad but voting Erdogan, rather supports my point of view: National sovereignty can’t be relinquished to a body of politicians and bureaucrats acting on principles, but out of touch with the peoples. Cohesion is lost and corruption takes over, like in the US.
The EU must be restrained to function as a forum of voluntary coordination, not the United States of Europe. The concept is not viable here, because out roots are deeper and older than in the States, and it may not even be viable much longer over there. Our strength ought to be diversity and good relations! There’s nothing European states can’t cooperate and coordinate on in a businesslike, respectable forum, but trying to erase the national differences clandestinely and piecemeal is bound to fail. It creates distrust and even hatred towards the politicians who attempt this.
