    That guy thinks that the EU is one entity, not consisting of many member states.

    Also it sounds like he only read headlines. Otherwise he would know that the EU survelliance bill is a proposal, which any member state can make in a democracy.

    Guess the propaganda got to him if he belives more what he reads in a headline instead of what actions the EU actually makes.

      The EU is one entity, consisting of several member states. Just like my own country consists of many regions and municipalities with their own elected officials.

      Member states are forced to comply with legislation passed by the EU, even if a majority of the citizens of a state do not want to implement it. Technically there are two other options - sufferimg massive fines and punitive actions by the EU, or leaving. I’d rather not have to endure either of those, so instead I complain, loudly, online, to politicians, MPs and MEPs.

        Yeah, sure. Go complain about your life in the EU. Must be awful.

        Maybe go outside and enjoy your privileged life in Europe.
