@chatcontrol It's eye-watering stupid how politicians in @EUCommission and #EU parliament - in a time when there's big opportunity to forge more unity in our Union, and (re)gain people's #Trust - continue to pursue deep #dystopia against the #People's will over and over and over again. It is embarassing and shameful, and should be criminal. Here's some excerpts from the HN comments thread: > It seems abundantly clear that the options on any vote in any legislature for a proposed bill are always “yes” and “ask me later”. > Is it still a democracy if you just keep redoing the vote until you get the outcome you want? > It's really surprising to me that this issue keeps coming up time and time again, until I realised that it's non-voted in parties actually trying to pass this stuff! > It's all about the lobbying. It's honestly crazy that essentially bribery is legal. A few thousand here and there for campaign donations. It's amazing how cheap politicians are. Don't betray our trust!
