Where Does the EU Get its Power From? (& How it Passes Laws) – TLDR News

Published

on



Patreon – www.patreon.com/tldrnewseu

In this video, we discuss the EU’s power. The EU is somewhere between being a state and an international organisation, but somehow unlike other similar bodies, it has the power to pass laws and hold sovereign states to account. So we will explain where the EU gets its powers from and how the EU is able to pass laws.

    eu makes laws tha do not apply. They enforce it by threating to withheld funds EURO fiat currency, which everybody pays to common vault. thats why Poland has its own currency

    The EU is corporatisms in action taking it's orders from the WEF. There's nothing for the little man. Yes, I know they put on free movement of people as a gesture but in reality we struggle to buy our own home and treat ourselves, let alone dream of moving to the sunshine. That's why I left the EU.

    Unrelated to this video, just that I'm watching your old vids and I couldn't tell you this through Nebula: I was watching the other day the last EU video, on the European far right rise, and I thought it would be interesting if you did a video about the differences between I&D and ECR. I was looking into it the other day and found it was interesting and would like to know more about the origins of its differences, why I&D holds pro-Russian belief, their electoral prospects, and so forth.
    Thanks, guys, keep up the good work. Your channels are great!

    Funny looking at this 2 years later. The EU is mad at Poland for concluding the EU doesn't have sovereignty.

    The 2 areas I think the EU needs adjustment on to make it more democratic are:

    1. The EU Parliament should not have a cap on the total numbers of MEPs. What this means is that as member states are added the apportionment of the whole is recalculated but means if there is constant expansion and/or population growth, MEPs will continually represent more and more citizens. Parliament should be doubled for now.

    2. Too confusing. I took some EU law and my initial excitement was annihilated by the ridiculousness of the needless complicated structure… I mean a "European Council" AND a "Council of Europe?!" At least name things differently! I think this is important because citizens should be able to clearly understand how their government works and know what job they are voting people into. The Fog of Bureaucracy does not serve democracy well.

    Once you all have created pins for each country (hopefully Haiti will be soon) you should create pins of whatever building traditionally represents each country's government. (examples: the US Capital Building/White House, the Palace of Westminister, the Reichstag, both EU Parliament Buildings, etc)

  12. @scotandiamapping4549

    February 29, 2024 at 2:31 am

    I think the EU needs simplified. It's too complex for a regular EU citizen to understand and thus it's harder to hold to account.

  22. @envysart797

    February 29, 2024 at 2:31 am

    It’s highly democratic and well-intentioned, but the cost of a high level of democracy is decision paralysis and ineffectiveness. It’s not well-positioned to combat the decline of democracy in its member states.

  23. @AB3-74

    February 29, 2024 at 2:31 am

    The EU needs change to USE as soon as possible. This loose structure is not flexible enough (and has not enough competences) to cope with modern threats and to remain the most developed and most important region of the world. China has overtaken the USA. Don't let them overtake us! Being a single federative country without the sovereignty of member states is not a pleasant idea. Being a third world country behind … phew… China… is even much much worse.

  24. @mrdemocracy7106

    The EU is a undemocratic corrupt cartel run organisation simply as that.

    The EU wields great economic and diplomatic (soft) power, where it is really lacking is in military (hard) power which ultimately (even if never employed) must exist as a guarantor.

  30. @hanibachi3719

    February 29, 2024 at 2:31 am

    I think the eu needs more power over states, and law making, unlike every state government, on the level of an entire union there is less probability of corruption and exclusivity, it means better representation i think

  31. @pawernielsbroek3971

    Federalize the EU. Power of initiative for the parlement and the commision is the exec. Eu court is the supreme court. Foreign affairs and defence to the union. Same goes for healthcare and treasury.

  33. @robyclay

    February 29, 2024 at 2:31 am

    Don't try to tell us how good and indispensable the EU is, we can see for ourselves. The European Union will break up and I hope so. Italy, Spain, Romania, Bulgaria. Stay the trick of the West and do what you want between you. The green deal and other aberrations to do for you. I will never accept to lead me France and Germany. In fact, the federalization of Europe is pursued. we will accept to lose our country and our identity and to be driven by the interests of some western countries.

  34. @royrj5517

    EU makes rules for member states but have no power over them.

  35. @psammiad

    February 29, 2024 at 2:31 am

    Brexit has proved that the member states always retained sovereignty despite being part of the EU, since members can make the sovereign decision to leave at any time. Unlike say, US states.

  36. @flyingcookie5639

    February 29, 2024 at 2:31 am

    That's a ridiculously hard to shake system. Rather good for gathering world powers together.

    February 29, 2024 at 2:31 am

    Powerful??? In wat fucking its inhabitens it cant keep us save it wants us to take in isis!
    It says that we must have respect fore people that hate western values, also give them free incomes, housing, education, pasports and heathcare.
    Than its calls europeans rasist??!!?
    Criminals can go where ever they want and the police doesnt do nothing about it.
    Making deals fore globilists, banks, and totaly corrupt, bankrupt country s.
    And the ones who follow the rules are punished by demanding more money for criminal dictators like orban and macron
    NO BORDER control no safety, no growth
    It insults president Trump( just our moste importend ally and protector) and roles the red carpet out fore dictators from China?? Like China hase anny intrest in protecting the West
    EU is fore everyone accept the europeans its called a softpower dictatorships.
    Europe can not make its own Medicines, hase no tec, its totally dipandeble on the americans fore its saftey.
    Yess its great in putting monney in criminals hands, selss pasports to Russin criminals and then turns around to the europeans fore monney because putin is comming??!!! (Why did he alsow buy a pasport than?)
    Conclusion its a cesspool, swamp, bunch off mobsters and sick leftish marxist!!!
    NEXIT 2021 NEXIT 2021 NEXIT 2021

  38. @gosskamperis2016

    February 29, 2024 at 2:31 am

    So in short – The EU has PERCEIVED power because the citizens of the individual member sates are STUPID ENOUGH to give them that power. Of course, following Brexit, the citizens of those said states are reflecting upon the sanity of their surrender to the EU.

  39. @innocento.1552

    Another way to describe the EU is me buying my neighbour big boot to use for kicking my butt. 😂
