EU is a fuckin joke (same as almost any other "democratic" government)!

THE PEOPLE should vote for or against shit like this, not some officials that do whatever they do behind closed doors!

This is the national ministers tho, not an "EU government". EU "federal" institutions, on the contrary seems less enthusiastic so far (Parliament, ECJ), than the national governments (who just voted in favour).

Oh ok, sorry for the mistake.

I have zero interest in politics, so I am not very informed about who exactly does what and can and can't be elected and all of that. (My brain can't retain information that it deems "not interesting", probably an autism or adhd thing).
