Well, there's always the chickenhawk.

I sure hope so

I'll suggest a slight title change:

"The abusing police thread: Beyond Brown, no justice"

So Sweden is filled with cannibals? Or how do you guys elect the Riksdag?

Look, if you're going to pull a basic statistics con like calculating one variable per capita and one variable in absolute terms, I'm going to call you out on it.

Then please do. What con?

It says so right in the damn quote. You're measuring payments to the EU on a per capita basis, but are complaining that small countries do not get enough aggregate influence. Connecting the two, you cry out about what a grave injustice is being committed. It's a classic swindle, and not a particularly good one.

Sweet, an insult coupled with links in a language you know I do not speak. Classy.

Don't act all coy and offended. Don't throw shit if you can't handle being told to stick it back up your arse.

It's called civility. If you like I'll quote the forum rules to you, but I think it's easier for everyone if you just head over there and treat yourself to a refresher autonomously.


E: smj: We have the commission, where every country supplies one commissioner, and also the veto power for each country. It's not exactly a second house, but it's analogous.

Fun fact, for anyone else reading this: EU election rules make sure that the votes by people from less populous countries are weighted much more heavily than the votes from more populous ones. For example you need about a million German votes to get a seat in Parliament, but only about eighty thousand Maltese ones - that's less than a tenth.
And remember, the proposal we're discussing would move this ever so slightly in the direction of one man, one vote. That's what scriver calls 'death of democracy'.

Can't we rebrand it as LOLMeripol, under new LW management?

Wow. I think that was the first non-ironic post I've seen LW make in a while, and it's a genuinely touching one as well.

Sorry for your loss, man. Take good care of that potato - as it says in the Good Book:

      "There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—

      A time to give birth and a time to die;
            A time to plant [potatoes] and a time to uproot what is planted [i.e. potatoes]."

France officially proposed using the seats left vacants by the British MEP to start electing some MEP on a transnational jurisdiction. I really hope that works!

Sweeeeeeet.
