i think im missing the jokes here... ^^

1) This was awful
2) This was patronising
3) Where is my dislike button?

All you need to know about the BBC, our national broadcaster is not even showing some of the most important talks in our nations history live.

That was incredibly basic and slightly biased against the EU.

Not "all you need to know in two minutes" more along the lines of "here are the four cornerstones of EU policymaking in two minutes".

But I'm still liking the video because I can present that to primary school children as a basic intro to a lesson.

28 commissioners make the laws and none of us voted for any of them.

I am a great fan of the BBC's neutral behaviour of many topics, but this seems like you are mocking the ideals of the EU? Very disappointed in you +BBC

This video is hilarious, I think that the BBC is trying to tell us that the EU is a joke.

The BBC has received £2m in EU funding in run up to referendum. Why no disclosure?

BBC, would be lovely if you could turn on captioning for this video.

[DynamicSphinx]

Why all the downvotes? This video was intended for Americans.

I just made the likes '666', I feel powerful, almost as if I could reverse Brexit???

[schrnz]

You forgot the important part about Parliament not being able to reject proposed legislation, only amend or accept.

I don't know why this video has so many dislikes. The BBC is certainly biased but this video was a very objective 2 minute representation of how the system works, I didn't see any bias in it.

[josephfox]

this was horribly cheesy "clip art? and drum-set for each point?" and a very vague description? is this BBC news or some sort of joke? seriously disappointed. as an American I view the BBC as a professional and often unbiased news source that seeks the truth. I often hold disdain for PBS that is often blatant biased and frankly has such little contact with the outside world it simply replays old antique road show and then asks for donations for its new jazz report. but this... GOD. I could have made it.

[Anfmethodjor]

Somehow I feel like... there should be more to know.

[MMACZ]

Really? Is that all I needed to know about EU in 2 min?

He He, so funny!

[shtrokavi]

This was so missleading, the EU is so much more. Shallow Brits don't apreciate the EU.

[Awibrahor]

All you need to know, all right. They don't want you to know anything more. Best to keep the pesky demos uninformed, lest they rebel.

What's the song at the beginning?
