I just don't understand why we do not learn in school how the eu works? Like in english we have to study the US system...
Maybe it could be added to the history program or to the english one.

Hey! could you also make a video concerning the pros and cons of EU reform? Thank you for the terrific content!

[bearcubdaycare]

A nice survey of where the political groups stand.

[Tommek]

Everyone in the EU should watch this video before voting

[glennnielsen]

The veto option can be an advantage if you believe that most of what the EU stands for is negative, as it will limit the possibility of new harmful initiatives.

@EUMadeSimple People often talks about how EU is too burocratic, but nobodies talks about the benefits of that, i would love if you could make a video on the Brussels Effect, would you do one?

But this is misleading. Reform is the wrong word. The ECR wants to "reform" the EU as well.
Reform can mean both reforming to a more centralised EU and reforming away from a more centralised EU.

Reform in this video means reform to a more centralised EU.

Good luck you guys. We will keep sending you our non-member benefit checks as per usual.

Great video!
At 6:46 you didn't swap The Left's and EPP's columns, only their icons

[LibertarianLeninistRants]

A good outcome for the European Left will determine the shape of a possible european federation. It is crucial to safeguard and expand the democratic and social aspects of the EU

[Greatshadowfighter]

The free nations of Europe must unite under one banner!

[ulrichbrodowsky]

It's funny how you specially mention Volt with their single seat in parliament. I hear a lot about them. But if prognosis are to be believed they hover around 1% here in Germany. So unless that changes, they'll again get one seat from Germany this election

[MiniCraftWolskys]

Hello ! Thank you for the video ! Do you think you could share this graphic as an image that we could copy / paste, in order to send to people that don't fancy watching politics video but we would like to share this ? Cause I feel like a screenshot would not look as good and it'd feel like stealing your work ! Anyway, thanks again for the great video :D

I'm all for a bigger EU and more EU, as long as it doesn't subside democracy as a side effect.
Because a federalized Europe can turn very ugly if not managed professionally and with the right people in the room doing sensible policies or else everyone is worst off to see the EU collapse as the result.

[kacperdudenko]

Return to what UE used to be. Economic Union where free trade and efforts to increase economic growth were dominant.
We don't need thousands pages of regulations.

People still haven't realized that less EU hurts the working class the most

The problem of voting certain parties is that you have to vote for only one priority wuth the hope that they will also have that as a priority. I'm aligned as follows:
Defense: The left
Federal EU: The greens
Economy: Renew
Social issues: ECR

So except for the S&P, EPP and ID, I share something with each party. I will vote for ECR with the hope that they solve the social issues (Immigration, lack of respect for private property, anti-natalism, etc) but if they're solved by the next election, I will probably go for the second highest priority...

We were waiting for this video in view of the elections! Greetings

As always a really great Video. Thank you for showing us the different parliamentary groups and what they stand for.
Will you also do a video on Volt?
I read in the comments from another video that you wanted to give them their own video (if I remember right).
I really look forward to it, since it currently is the party I see most of my values in. The only problem of Volt for me is, that it is way too capitalist in my opinion.

The problem with getting rid of the veto is that it will de facto give the power to the biggest countries and smaller countries could feel resentful. On the other hand, veto is really slowing us down, so it's complicated
