    So no citizen vote ? Seem like oligarchy to me.

    Yeah let’s the ruling class choose the mega ruler. It will certainly be in my best interest

      So you support the destruction of the member states as well? Most of them are parliamentary democracies as well.

          I have no idea what you are trying to say here. Nor do I have the faintest idea what it has to do with my comment above.

            That gouvernemental and extra gouvernemental structure doesn’t follow the same assignement and need. Having the same gouvernance for both of them is dumb since they aren’t the same

              What do you mean by “extra gouvernemental”?

              Also, if you believe public transportation is an argument against the EU, I have a bridge to sell to you. It basically is a good example of how the EU makes sense and it is not “the same ‘gouvernance’” for all levels.

              It is hard to understand what you are even talking about.
