Getting rid of the veto power would pretty much turn the EU into a dictatorship, where the interests of the core wealthy nation would override the interests of the less wealthy nations. The veto power should remain for key domains, such as fiscal policy, foreign affairs and a few others. The only reform the EU needs to go through is a decentralization effort, with more power to the member states than to Brussels.

@Kalimdor199Menegroth Your last point is antithetical to what the EU wants to be. It _is_ an 'ever-closer Union'. Transferring continuously more power to the EU _is_ the point; and it is also the main advantage of the EU, necessitating that no European country can just go off and do their own, very harmful thing - but also, common law and regulation allows for a largely transparent market force facilitating trade like nowhere else over so many country's borders. In the other hand, it is a democratic institution. Thereby, it _should_ follow democratic principles largely. The more pressing issue is actually that the smaller states hold the EU hostage with the Veto. The Veto should be gone - as it stands, the EU cannot hope to continue, because as soon as one state falls into dictatorship, the EU has no recourse, since it cannot kick members. The smaller states get plenty of benefits through EU membership, and they are even overrepresented in the EU parliament. If the Veto being gone would be such a huge Deal for them - they should, indeed, leave the EU. The institution, if it wants to work long-term, needs commitment to it. That means options for the EU to protect itself, like a vote to kick members, which fundamentally necessitates getting rid of the Veto.

@@lVideoWatcherl What the EU wants to be does not matter. What matters is what the nations comprising the EU want it to be. I do not want more power to be transferred to a far away kleptocracy. We used to have this back in Soviet times when Moscow was our Brussels. We don't want them. Power should be closer to the citizen, not farther away. Otherwise we got back to the imperial period. All nations within the EU should have the power to do what they want and their interests need to be preserved, and not discarded. If the EU wants to retain a semblance of democracy, then the veto power must remain. EU is not a democratic institution. It presents an illusion of democracy because the EP is elected, but the EC is named and holds the real power. The only time when the EP has more power than the EC, is when the EC is named, based on the EP majority post-elections and that's it. We Eastern Europeans compare this system with the Supreme Soviet-Politburo system, which was very similar. The Supreme Soviet was only more powerful than the Politburo only when they were naming the members of the Politburo. After that, any resolution taken by the Supreme Soviet had to be approved by the Politburo to be anything more than a recommendation. Which is exactly the system that the EU has. "The more pressing issue is actually that the smaller states hold the EU hostage with the Veto." And they have the right to do so if their needs and interests are not addressed. In international relations, there is no democracy per se, so veto power must be a prerogative for any sort of good relations between nations. The veto should stay, and actually be expanded to include more domains. For example, nations that do not want to be forced into adopting LGBTQ+ ideology should be allowed to veto. Nations that do not want to engage in climate alarmist policies and assassinate their economies, should be allowed to veto. I am not worried about states falling into a dictatorship, because the abolition of veto power will turn the EU into a dictatorship. The veto power is the only leverage smaller and medium sized nations within the EU to counter the Franco-German interests. If this is done away with, these countries can just buy off votes through lobby power and crush any dissent or opposing view, ensuring the creation of a new continental dictatorship. The Fourth Reich basically. We do not want that. If the EU can only function by transforming itself into a dictatorship, then we shall work hard to destroy it from its foundation. If it cannot be reformed, then it must be destroyed. Which is why we vote the far-right overwhelmingly and anti-establishment parties. The EU has crossed a few red lines, and is turning into a illegitimate superstate. Which is not what was envisioned by the founding fathers, nor what was promised to the nations before they joined. We did not vote to join a new Soviet Union. I would never trust a German, an Irish, or a Portuguese to tell me how to govern my country, what values should I uphold and what is good for me. And I think you would not accept either.

The EU isn’t a democracy. It’s full of unelected officials… So why would they dilute their power? They wouldn’t… EU parliament is about increasing wealth for the wealthy.

but the "honorable representatives" convincing the public to vote for Brexit told them that the UK holds all the cards, and that the EU is lost without the UK. so the EU must be prepared to offer the universe to the UK in return for scraps, right? right? but for real how Brits ever believed that they held more power than 27 other countries is beyond me.

Labour are being smart, they've learnt from 2019. Many here haven't.

I'd say they're more concerned that a notable portion of swinging voters and would be labour voters in the north would be very much against rejoining, rather than being afraid of the right leaning press. The whole reason why the referendum result came as such a shock was that most politicians and the press (especially David Cameron) misjudged it to be a minority within the Conservative base voters that were in favour of leaving, but it turned out there was a sizable portion of the labour base that wanted to leave as well.

Unlikely in the next 10 years yes, but I think quite likely in the next 20 years. Might be something they aim to do on a second term if they are doing well perhaps so some change to have it done after 10 years..?

UK needs to meet the Copenhagen criteria first. This will require deep constitutional reforms, which in turn will require a strong mandate (not 52%, not 55% - rather something close to 75%). This will take much more than a decade. After which, accession negotiations can start. These typically take a couple of decades. I estimate full Breturn by the late 2060s.

I'm pretty sure they'll be happy to have the UK rejoin for the following reason: a) shows all current members how much of a failure leaving is b) they'll get the UK back but we will get little to no exclusions like we used to c) the UK will be a big net funder d) its the ultimate goal of the EU to get all European countries under its wings e) it militarily and soft power wise makes the EU much stronger

There's no way you actually believe this right? The EU is better off with such a big market like the UK inside of it.

We need the UK more than ever if you vote labour. We need leftwing seats in the EU.

Europe has had near zero growth for over a decade, war on its doorstep, rapid rise of the right, etc. There are no Brexit Benefits for anyone.

@@mdl2427 EU need to set an example, EU cannot be rejoined like a bus ticket in just a mere few years. They also don't needto let UK rejoin to show how much of a failure Brexit is , Brits have been whining about it already with a dying economy

While it seems amusing that CAMERON has the pig farm, it should be remembered that Cameron advocated Remain. The joke would make far more sense if Nigel Farage had the pig farm... or possibly Boris Johnson. From the conversations I had with many Brits prior to the referendum, the average person was so deluded about the facts, that this "denial" of the truth of how bad leaving the EU has been for the UK will certainly continue to 2046. Part of Thatcher's legacy is that nobody can admit they made a mistake anymore.

And the full benefits will consist of UK joining the EU again, this time with full commitment and no privileges or opt outs.

Never underestimate the stupidity of humans

Yes they're called boomers

@@l.j.turner185 not all leave voters where boomer. during the brexit vote a lot of young left leaning voters wanted to leave because they thought the eu was stopping the UK from becoming more left leaning.

That is funny, specially because we can show thousands and thousands of cases of "leavers" turning into "remainers", but I haven't seen a single case of the other way around.

You see, the beauty of the first past the post system is that the opinion of the majority is irrelevant. Only the opinion and will of the minority living in the right constituencies is deciding the fate of Uk politics. Therefor, Labours position and behaviour does not indicate anything about “voters”, but only about some voters, living at some place.

We need some kind of PR desperately, AMS or even STV
