A lean, fully democratic EU I would consider voting for
Not that the elected parliament really matters anyway, it is the unelected commission that makes the rules. This news item today sums it up:
The European Parliament has voted by an overwhelming majority to deny China the coveted prize of market economy status, warning that it would leave Europe’s battered industries vulnerable to a devastating flood of subsidized Chinese goods.
...
MEPs voted by 546 to 28 against the proposal, uniting Left and Right in an outpouring of anger over cheap imports of Chinese steel.
...
The vote is not binding...Last edited by xoggoth; 12 May 2016, 21:11.bloggoth
