  • I for one welcome our new German overlords lol :-)

    Seriously though, I'd rather have Germany running the show than a lot of other nations I can think of.

  • as en englishman when a germans says 'you will vote' it makes me want to jump in a spitfire and give jerry a good hiding

  • 1. It's a question of ratios. It's no different than in the US where not every vote is exactly equal. That's what you get in a federation.

    2. Good. If there had been a referendum then, like all referenda people would have voted against things that the referendum was not actually about.

    3. But 90% have no understanding of the E.U. so their opinion is suspect.

    4. Speculation and conspiracy talk.

    Vote!

  • In belgium the laws are such that you are forced to vote. If not you pay a fine... For me voting is a right but nothing should force us to vote especially for corrupts fucks like DiRupo or Leterme assholes... Belgium really sucks

  • EU is undemocratic! EU is corrupt! EU is centralized!

    EU is for regulations and against the free marked! EU do not respect sovereignty of nations!EU has unaccountable politicians. EU has corpus justice laws!EU wants to expand to the eternal!

    EU is an ideology !

    FUCK EU POLITiCIANS!!

  • 1.The EU ELECTIONS are not democratic : In a real democracy every vote has the same weight.

    38,000 votes are needed in Luxemburg to chose an MEP. Thats 16 times more political clout than a German voter where 628,000 are needed !

    2.Europeans were never asked if they wanted an EU parliament & an un-elected legislative.

    3.Most Europeans (in recent polls) do NOT WANT the EU to be given more power.

    4.Why plan for a European army unless the EU is to become an `Empire ´(Barrosso).

    Don't vote

  • Wow, no wonder why no one wants to vote in the next election. Totally out of touch with the people.

  • Very nice video. Thank you.

  • ANY LAWYERS OUT THERE ?

    Surely the Lisbon Treaty/Constitution is in clear breach of the UN's International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights ?.

    Article 1 : All peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic and cultural development.

    Note the word `FREELY ´!

    The only legal means of asking a peoples approval is a referendum.

    Anything else is an illegal coup `d etat.

    Vote EU sceptic.
