    There’s a popular misconception that lobbying doesn’t exist in the European Union. It does. Big money is constantly trying to sway and buy politicians into their interests, everywhere, and their interest are always right leaning social control. There’s also a right wave going on in the world. The EU is leaning right, and with it there’s a raise in popularity of dumb backwards legislation.

      Also the EU Commission are not elected, they’re nominated.

      The only part the EU Parliament has in there is a confirmation (take it or leave it) vote on commissioners other than the head.

      It’s a perfect setup for moneyed interests to buy themselves whatever laws they want for an entire block of nations with 470 million people and which has a Gross Domestic Product close to the US.

      So most of the EU crap comes from the EU Commission (though recently the EU Parliament itself renewed Chat Control when its head used a procedural trick to do it at a time when many parliamentaries were already on vacations and without needing a majority of parliamentarians to approve it, so shenanigans are an EU Commission monopoly).

      The EU is leaning right, and the US is leaning right, so…would the EU be willing to become the 51st state?
