The problem with the current state of the EU is that it is governed by unelected politicians - the EU Comission, and they are very out of touch with reality. Plus the fact they managed to make themselves very hard to control or remove from power.

Latest example being farmers that are being targeted and until they did not come to Brussels to dump manure in the streets, the EU Comission did not care a bit of the harm they were causing them. And it did not care even then until France used its power to get it to listen.

The EU started as a nice project that is slowly becoming something thst not even in the wildest communist dreams was thought not possible.




In this specific example it's not the Commission that drives this initiative, but the Council, which is formed of head of states for the individual members.
