there is only one question you must ask,,,who is deciding the fate of the peoples of Europe...is it the people? or is it unelected officials?  if the answer is the latter then you are all in very big trouble...even under the best of systems with the best of intentions violence is inevidable,,,,why? because when the people vote and bad circumstances occur they must blame themselves,,,when the people are not allowed to vote and they are bankrupted they revolt the eu is part of a bigger agenda

[EuropeanUnionRules]

The answer to your question is - the people. None of the member states are dictatorships. They are all democracies, and if the people didnt like what was happening, they would vote for a government that would take them out of the EU.

[EuropeanUnionRules]

@candiceevans1 Well, the people in an indirect way. The Commission is appointed by the Council which in turn is made up of the representatives of the member state governments. As each member state is a democracy, the people elect their governments. So as a result, the people ARE deciding the fate of Europe.

fuck all unionists! what is that union whit people of diferent race, religion, nation? they all are unitet under what!?

[EuropeanUnionRules]

Under a common cause of peaceful co-existence and equality? Why is such a union so anathema to you? One race is no better or superior than another.

The UK is an evil attempt to make a superstate out of previously sovreign peoples.

The people of Derbyshire will regain their freedom! Stop taking powers away from Derby and putting them in London! You Wessexian despots will soon fear the wrath of the Derbyshirian folk!

FREEDOM!!!!!!

What a silly video. None of those questions make any sense.

Screw the EU!

@EuropeanUnionRules It is hardly possible for anti-EU parties to get a parliamentary majority. Not many parties are anti-EU. The Netherlands has only one, founded in 2005. So people didn't have a vote before, since all parties agreed. The same holds for England where Conservative, LibDem and Labour all agreed on EU plans.

[petervannoord1]

Your question about whether never an eurosceptic party has been elected in the UK is nonsense. UKIP became 2nd in the last EU elections. For the House of Commons it's very hard to elect new parties due to the complex voting system. And also the voters in the UK believed their Conservative politicians, pretending they were a Eurosceptic party. But they where deceived .

You are a true government bitch, congrats.

the EU is akin to a dictatorship,for example: the irish lisbon treaty vote,the irish voted NO to it the first time,and they forced us back to the ballot box when unhappy with our vote and our right,for a SECOND TIME,is this the workings of a democracy?where typically SIX FIGURE EARNERS,tell us never ending streams of immigration is a good thing?what good is more ppl to jobs ratio,or displacing natives,rising crime,and welfare fraud,race attacks,they wont have to live the consequences they create

[whitediesel266]

@EuropeanUnionRules well u muppet how can u vote for a goverment that would take u out of it when u only have 1 goverment and both the left and right are taking u down the same path fucking monkey

[rnm1011]

Federasts and eurocrats make business exceedingly expensive. The eu has done nothing good for it's member states except those that take, take and take some more. and now even the takers are finding the price too high for them. eu, rubbish, corrupt, incompetent and very anti-democracy as we can see with one of it's three presidents, that's right, the SCREAMING MAOIST Babushka Barroso

@rarelibra "The modern parliament, Alþingi (English: Althing), was founded in 1845 as an advisory body to the Danish monarch. It was widely seen as a re-establishment of the assembly founded in 930 in the Commonwealth period and suspended in 1799."-On the Icelandic parliament.

"League of Six Nations"-Was a tribal democracy at best (Similar to a noble republic), to be more exact it was a sui generis democratic institution. But it certainly wasn't a representative democracy.

[Teranex]

@rarelibra Your information is inaccurate, while true. Athens is the worlds oldest DIRECT democracy, while UK is the worlds oldest REPRESENTATIVE democracy. While Iceland was not an independent nation, but was at all times a part of Denmark or Norway till 1940 and as such was a territory of a monarchy/constitutional monarchy with home rule.

[rarelibra]

@Teranex Sorry, but you are incorrect. You should recheck YOUR information. Iceland is the world's oldest continuous Democracy - their parliament, the Althing, the oldest one still in use (formed in 930 AD). The world's oldest democracy is Athens (around 40 BC). But also to consider is the League of Six Nations - the native Americans who had a voting rights agreement 800 years before European settlers showed up... and well before the UK existed (which is only a few hundred years).

[Teranex]

@rarelibra Actually UK is the oldest (representative) democracy. While the first (direct) democracy in existence was the CITY STATE Athens and NOT Greece. And i cant recall Poland being democratic any sooner then post ww1 (Except if a NOBLE republic counts as a democracy, which it doesn't). So you should recheck your information.
