  1. House of Democracy? Ursula was the only candidate. That's democracy for you EU style. Here is the only candidate, vote yes or no. Hilarious.

  2. EU trying once again to ignore their own law in the name of the rule of law. They aren't even pretending any more.

  3. Funny because just yesterday you were complaining about Israel "damaging EU investments" in Palestine, now it's positive momentum? The EU is a joke. When does von der Leyen actually do anything, she seems to spend all her time making speeches and doing photo-shoots.

  4. I bet Ursula was pleased she had a chair.

  5. Haha, oh dear, EU showing its true colours. Business will do as we say. That's known as fascism folks, you can keep your business but you have to do exactly as we tell you !!! Let's see how many foreign companies will be rushing to set up in the EU now.

  6. It's cruel asking this poor old man to do this. He is clearly confused and rambling and needs urgent help.

  7. Really? That's your consideration at this time? How will you know? Will it mention Brexiteer or remainer on their death certificates? How many deaths are you looking forward to so you might win this time? 1.4 million?

  8.  @mijicmugendo  Oh? Interesting. Do please educate me. What have I said that is incorrect?

  9.  @Ju88327  And now they are censoring my reply to you !!! That's two in one thread. They don't like it when people reveal the truth !!!

  10. Committed to transparency by refusing to publish the findings. That's EU speak in action.

  11. "Supporting them to this objective" translates into English from EUspeak as," force them to do what WE want."

  12. So what are you going to do? Cut off your own gas supply?

  13. The title doesn't correspond to the content. The video said "We don't know anything and we can't say anything." (but because we lost it must have been fixed).

  14. "Everybody knows".... Uhm, no they don't how can the US have had a "historical relationship" with something that has only existed for less than 30 years and is only a bureaucracy? If you want to make the world a better place get rid of the useless self-serving EU, that would be a good start.

  15.  @mijicmugendo  Well thanks for your selected segments from history. The US does indeed have a long history with European countries, not with the EU, which is just a paper pushing office. When you say culturally, do you refer for example to their legal system, oh no that resembles some other country's system, or their language? Nope, can't be that. Once again the EU tries to rewrite history, as do you, no wonder you are a fanatic. Not for long though the cracks are widening daily, the EU is crumbling.

  16.  @Ju88327  Yes I know how it works. Although that is not officially how it works, the supposed procedure is called the Spitzenkandidat system but it is completely ignored. The candidates are supposed to be known to all before the "election" (if you can call an election where most of the winners are decided before a vote is cast an election), even takes place. Can you think of any other "Democracy" that only has one candidate to vote for? The only people that have that sort of a system are totalitarian regimes.... And in all countries where the President has a lot of power and is not just a symboloic head of state, the people vote, the French Population vote for the President of France, the American Population vote for the President of the USA, but in the EU there is only one candidate and the people don't get a vote at all. I know how the EU system is supposed to work, how it actually does work, and that it is not democratic.

  17.  @Ju88327  I'll try posting it in bits Yes but how many Europeans knew that, even you didn't until I told you and you looked it up, and you think you are an expert. You do realise that the people were never asked that? Or actually they were, it was in the EU constitution. and the French the Dutch and the Irish all voted no to the EU constitution. So the EU changed it to a treaty, the Lisbon Treaty which they could have signed by the Politicians rather than the people voting for what is constitutional change and would normally be the subject of a referendum. The text of the Lisbon Treaty is identical to the text of the constitution. Giscard D'Estaing who wrote it said so. It's much easier to bribe or force 27 politicians to sign a piece of paper than to convince the people, so in true EU style they just ignored the people. Everything they do is about imposing their will and when the people say no they ignore them.

  18.  @Ju88327  Just read the other comments on this pro Eu video. Lot's of people from many countries have woken up to the EU, maybe you need to study it more closely. Oh and now you have discovered you aren't an expert you certainly seemed to think you were, you did say "learn about EU before commenting".

  19.  @Ju88327  Well here's an easy way to work it out. In France there was Le Pen or Macron, In the US last time it was Trump or Biden, In the EU it was Von der Leyen or ????? Oh yeah nobody else. So that's how you know there was only one candidate.

  20.  @EUdebatesLIVE  EU law is flexible, if they decide not to apply it they don't. If they allow this they are effectively condoning theft.

  21. She's on a jolly distributing largess everywhere she goes. But she doesn't have any money she's going to have to ask member states to pay in more.

  22.  @Ju88327  They could not be bribed or blackmailed or forced like the lackeys who want to ensure their promotion prospects. MEP is not where the money is you want a nice job as an advisor or consultant or something like that in a nice office with no real responsibility, and in order to get one of those jobs you need to be seen to be compliant with the wishes of the Commission.

  23. No second chance? OK I'll make a note of that.

  24. Clueless, but they keep issuing and spending money I feel sorry for the European citizens who are going to suffer from all this.

  25. OK mate, if we can come and harvest your crops and your flowers.

  26. Well well, so you have to rely on the guy you are sanctioning to be nice to you so you can heat your homes. If it wasn't so sad for the people it would be hilarious. Well done the Brussels central planners great job !!

  27. Hahaha, the whole thing is a complete shambles.

  28.  @03MARA01  Honda pulled out of Europe too. They closed all their factories outside Japan, so no it had nothing to do with Brexit, that site by the way has been sold and is being redeveloped by Panattoni to a warehouse and distribution Park creating 9000 new jobs. So we went from having no deals to having our own bespoke deals...that the EU don't have, so there's a benefit already. The EU don't have a trade deal with the US either, the US don't like trade deals, they only have a dozen or so. There is no queue for trade deals with the USA, that's not how deals are done you don't take turns. And we are not too small we are the 5th biggest economy in the world out of 197, that makes us one of the biggest economies in the world, not that size really matters, all that matters is do you have something we want and do we have something you want... who cares about size? Do you not buy from a shop because it's small? Only buy from megastores do you? If we had that approach we wouldn't be able to do deals with almost anybody because they are all smaller than us !! You have obviously never been abroad for work have you? You have to register locally, get in the system, you don't just waltz in , now you don't have any automatic rights you have to apply, but it's not hard. And the ETIAS system is not confirmed and if there is a cost it will be 7 euros valid for 3 years, hardly an issue. It's good anyway. We don't want people just crossing borders, that's not a good thing.

  29. Well done Poland !! Join us outside this totalitarian bullying organisation in the free world !!

  30. Easy; get rid of the EU and especially the Euro.

  31.  @75yado  We have been offering a deal for years the EU don't want one. Are you sure you like the idea that "anything can happen"...That would be most interesting.

  32.  Christina G  Well apparently things are so bad in the EU, France in particular, people will get on dinghies to escape. Which EU country are they escaping from to go to Greece and Italy? What double standards do you think I have? I would be curios to know.

  33. Or in...they pick themselves.

  34.  @mijicmugendo  What a delightful person you are. Now I am "people like you". The UK will be there to sort out the mess as usual, it's a cycle you see, Europe messes up, the UK comes and rescues you and then you mess it up again and so on. It's only a matter of time.

  35.  @stanisawsota298  I'm Scottish. Scotland isn't going anywhere. Sturgeon needs to keep going on about to win an election by splitting the vote. Scots know they are better off in the UK. This Anthony bloke is clueless, he doesn't even know any recent history. Polls are meaningless they get everything the wrong way round these days.

  36.  @stanisawsota298  The EU began with the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, but the full thing was indeed cemented by the treaty of Nice and then the Lisbon Treaty. Before that it was indeed the EEC. When it was about trade not Political Union, that's where they went wrong, it was fine when it was just about trade.

  37. Not to forget the lovely bags of money they give us...

  38. How about leaders the people vote for. Nobody voted for von der Leyen.

  40. No deal it is then. Let's see how it goes, haha.

  41. Looks more like the EU is displeased.

  42. A paper pushing exercise as usual, that's all the EU does, shuffle paper and leech from the European people, a waste of space time and money. Shut it down.

  43.  @Poultrymad  Yes, he sells his wine to the EU and then drinks it himself. How very convenient. We pay for it.

  44. Hahahahahappy New Year. The Euro an achievement? A success? That's really most amusing.

  45. 47 years of membership, 15 percent of the population now, but much higher share before, only one top position in the EU, Roy Jenkins in all that time. The folk with the power are always from Benelux, France and Germany, it's a private club.

  46.  @EUdebatesLIVE  Fascinating, how much is your budget?

  47. The Empire must expand or it will collapse. But the remaining pickings are all going to be expensive...and there is no money left in the EU coffers.

  48. It's the Golden Pension Register.

  49. Poland and Hungary should leave the fascist EU. It's actually quite funny, the EU ignore their own law and rules all the time.

  50.  @JosueMartinez-ww1vj  Trump? What are you talking about? They are supposed to translate, not decide who they translate for. Sack the lot of them.
