0:53 What Meloni Wants
5:10 Can It Succeed?

Of course she changed her mind on leaving the EU... thanks Brexit!
The video says ''euro-zone'' not the EU.
She also wanted to leave the EU
If they had listened to all the people in Europe rather than fairies like you, we would never have left.
Well, her personal political agenda is not changed, but she can't do it since the State is involved and committed into EU and it's plans.
@@funghi2606 When?
The answer is not the brexit, but reforms for the eu.
Yes! Starting with abolition of private property and the confiscation of all wealth.
@@hydra7427That's called collectivisation. Are you feeling communist? It has failed everytime it was tried. Will it be different because your leader will be in charge now?
@@hydra7427"You will own nothing and be happy."
@@Hardcore_Remixer You referencing to that one quote from a random Danish politician that was just giving her opinion at the WEF on what the world might become in 2030? The one where she also warned about increased government surveillance?
@@krashme997 Yes. And I refer to the fact that some people, as @hydra7427 can tell us, actually vote for that, and not only the world elites from the conspiracy theory.
Reducing bureaucracy is literally what every politician is saying should be done, yet nobody ever does so. Why? Because the bureaucrats are the politicians and their jobs depend on it! Nobody will make themselves redundant.
No, politicians are rarely drawn from the ranks of the bureaucracy. Professional civil servants make poor politicians. The BBC had a hilarious show based on the premise 50 years ago called "Yes, Minister."
@@danz1182 my point is that the bureaucrats are also part of the problem, they resist any reduction of complexity or efficiency improvements that might come from the politicians to the point when new elections take place and their bosses change. Result is the same, nothing happens which might jeopardise their positions.
Bureaucracy keeps me safe from dangerous working environments, contaminated food, bridges that collapse, planes that fall apart in midair, houses that are high flammable etc etc The red tape that keeps people safe costs business profit which is why they hate it They trick stupid people like you into thinking they hate it too despite it keeping them safe
Bureaucracy is good
Milei did it
Regarding the wish to leave the EU, even Orban doesn't want that as it would be very unpopular. In Hungary, most big projects are subsidised by the EU. That's also the case (in a smaller volume) for Italy and other southern countries.
The entire US south is subsidized by Democratic states, yet MTG still calls for secession. Reality doesn't matter to them.
Italy is a net contributor to the EU budget. Spain is net neutral. But yes, politics in these countries are trying for decades to make them with time less wealthy than northern Europe, by increasing their indebtment, taxation, and other deliberately sub-optimal policies. Why they are doing that I have no idea.
Its not just that a country is richer or poorer, the coesion funds are given to reagions and in Italy there are a lot of Southern reagions that definitly get money they otherwise would not be given, it was the case for the UK too, poorer regions of England and Wales lost a lot of Funds and despite Promises the Tory government has failed to make up for the losses in public investment, which is odd since they were net contributors after all, but I guess they had different priorities.
@@tomorrowneverdies567 Italy greatly benefits from the EU monetarily by having interest rates on government debt much lower than they would outside the EU
@@tomlxyz why would Italy have higher interest rates if it was not in the EU? In that logic, Germany also profits from having low borrowing interest rates.
Meloni is just one reason why things are changing. Anti illegal immigration policy and pro farmer policies are raising all over Europe.
err honey, hyper capitalism and libertarian politics doesn´t help farmers, it helps big companies that disguise themselves as farmers.
the current policies are pro farmer lol
EU is the most pro farmer part of the world. 80% of farmers income are from taxes and subsidies, they are the biggest whiners and pollute the climate more than many industries, yet they don't want to do their fair share. Their business is completly state funded yet they whine non-stop.
@@sockosophie3132 You are confusing Meloni for Milei, Meloni is a protectionist at least she presents herself as such
🤔
There is a difference between accepting legal immigrants and accepting anyone who shows up on the Italian coast
…. Accepting?
We still have a moral obligation to save human lives. The point is that after saving them, those who have no will to remain in Italy should leave the country in either other European countries that are directly responsable for this tragedy or back to their native countries. But EU treaties deny us to do that. Moreover the new ESM that some European countries wants to make, plans to dump their migrants here in Italy. A criminal act if you ask me. If such plan come into effect, we should ask back all the trillions of Euro we wasted with the former ESM without getting anything back. As few knows, Europeans have kept our money without troubles of morality or legitimacy. Italy is always treated like a secondary power of Europe while we are the Third economy, we are still growing and all these supposedly "superior" or "great powers" of Europe instead are quickly falling apart, with their economies crumbling like rotten houses. I don't know how much would be convenient to ignore and mock Italy in this moment.
@@cheesebiscuits6323 thanks
I mean you have to accept them on your land, to possibly then send them back if they arent refugees. You cant just refuse them and let them drown, unless of course you are a demon that likes human death, but surelly not?
Who is legal
3:48 It's time to stop thinking that Italy is strong in car manufacturing. Italy produces less cars than the Slovak republic. Fiat, after blocking or acquiring every other local car manufacturer, is no more, Stellantis has legal and fiscal headquarters outside Italy. The only thing that remains is the obsession of the average italian with car-centric culture, a landscape with little public transportation and even less cycling infrastructure.
It have zero relevance in this context. 🤔
@@danielefabbro822 truth hurts…
@@danielefabbro822 It is relevant indeed: to defend car manufacturing in Italy, nowadays, goes against the interests of the majority of italians.
@@markotrieste bs. Luxury italian brands make up a huge percentage of gdp. Most of these are on italian soil
@@markotrieste the point is that no one have any interest in "defending", whatever that could mean, a private corporation when it makes its wrongdoings. We Italians don't have such problem. We have always criticized FIAT for their actions.
It’s a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. Farmers do indeed dislike heavy environmental regulations, and from their standpoint, it is understandable, and I do think that the current green policies in the EU don’t really seem to be working in the long run (Germany banning nuclear energy because of it being “bad for the environment” was a major beuh moment for everyone). Tax breaks for farmers and some concessions for them are definitely good ideas. However, being environmentally friendly is also very much needed, and this is why I hope that they will refocus their environmental policies instead of reducing them. Here in Hungary, there’s been a massive surge in building battery plants, and this has had many mixed results to say the least. It seems like the authorities here (which are pretty corrupt) don’t enforce many important environmental regulations, and because of this, there’s been massive pollution near these factories, to the point that it’s both really bad for the workers in the factories themselves and the towns where these are located. It’s interesting how these environmental regulations kind of screw over farmers, but the lack of regulation would screw over factory workers (especially because even if you are not working in that factory per se, most people living in the town are from the working class). There must be some sort of compromise. As for the rest, I am pretty sceptical about them, but there are indeed some solutions needed for stuff like immigration, which is shamefully ignored by the left and even centre, despite there being many problems arising from it. I must say that I am not a huge fan of the EU shifting right as I am not really big on neoliberal policies (albeit like I said, tax breaks and concessions can be a good idea). However, I am still younger, so this might change when I get older, as people seem to get more conservative, at least economically once they secure a well paying job (which hopefully will happen).
Interesting points. Although, the pattern of young people becoming more conservative as they age has certainly been altered as of late.
One would think that a pro lifer like Meloni would be in favor of environmental regulations given the smog problem in Northern Italy. Guess not. Shocker.
Here's the best environmental policy: pressure India, China and Africa to do their fair share instead of trying to overcompensate for them
@@TheWeedIsland India, china and Africa emit less CO2 per capita than most european contries. Specially Africa where there's contries where one person on average lives with a quarter of the emissions of the best european contry. They have to make their share, of course, but the ones using oil for going to pee in the mall are not precisely africans.
@@BlueFrenzy "Per capita" makes sense as these territories have much greater inequality than Europe. OK?
The young lady is an excellent host. Calm and clear. Thank you.
Please dont bring Orban into anything. A bigger Moscow chil does not exist! Also, I'm not sure Italy of all countries should be complaining about EU bureaucracy when they themselfs are the worst country in Europe when it comes to it.
Ireland: hold my brown envelope
I mean I don't really see your point. If Italy's bureaucracy is shit then nothing should be done for EU bureaucracy? I'm sorry but this does not make any sense. Moreover Italian bureaucracy sucks because of different problems present with criminal organizations not because people are stupid and don't think about it. It is slow because there are huge numbers of checks to avoid Mafia collusion inside the institutions. In the past Italian bureaucracy had huge reforms to make it faster, the result? Mafia got deeper into the institutions.
I'm pretty sure what you said is a logical fallacy but I don't remember the name.....
Orban doesn't have a lot of votes anyway, if the left changes their view on immigration and multiculturalism they will win every election from now to 2100........ 🤷🏻♂️
Are you out of your mind? That award goes to Germany hands down.
I would love to have heard more of your analysis of Meloni's strongly pro-Ukrainian policies, particularly as they contrast with those of potential partner Fides. Unless I missed one recently, it's worth a whole nother video.
It is unlikely that Orban would join the ECR. Him and Meloni are increasingly at odds with each other. Orban is not a right wing conservative, he is an opportunist who will do anything to get more votes and more power. He has achieved that by being putins puppet inside the EU. Meloni is a real, run-of-the-mill conservative, who supports a free market economy, nato, and opposes russia.
Same. I'd love that too. I bet one thing is to try to change a few bits from inside eu but going against the US - atlantic agenda is a whole other matter. Plus yes, the fracture between russia and northern european countries seems to be slowing down the "frugal countries" so...
Bahaha Italy giving others lessons on bureaucracy is pretty funny

they don't mean the type of bureaucracy that requires you to do a lot of paperwork or something. What they mean is less power to the technocracts and more to the politicians.
Talking about bureaucracy for an ITALIAN is definitely mad.. as an Italian myself, I can assure anyone that the bureaucracy in Italy is horrible and inefficient.. it can take up to 1 year to get a passport appointment just for example and it is everything expensive.. horrible.
There is no greater pain than trying to get anything done at il commune…
The word bureaucracy itself already implies a necessary evil, where inefficiency is inferred.
Damn, I can apply & have an expedited passport (+$60 USD) in 2-3 weeks, with regular waiting times only being 6-8 weeks in the US. & I thought we were slow in doing things..
Here in the North its a lot Better, took me only weeks for My passport and less for everything else
@@giovannimonttii9468 I don't know man, I'm from the North too and it's always a pain to deal with government workers. Granted, I live outside Italy now, so I'm used to things being faster.
Italy: “EU, I don’t like all your bureaucracy!” Also Italy: “Help me EU, these jerks are copying our cheese!”
This made me laugh way harder than it should. Made my day.
Not all Italians will agree with Melonai and cheese will be under protective status.

Irrespective of whether you're left or right, I think we should be able to agree that Meloni should avoid courting Orban. The guy has basically made himself just a couple steps short of a dictator at this point.
You mean the lady that got her start in fascist youth movements should not idolize dictators? that might be a ship that has long sailed

great content! 7:19 seems to be missing a frame or something :)
Trust, Meloni and friends can reshape caverns only

Yes, very dangerous when democratically elected ppl, voted in by their own constituency win! 🤦♂️
Notwithstanding Meloni, Italy cannot afford to be eurosceptic ... we have an historical posture and we are founders of EU, thats is why Meloni is adapting to reality ...
So all politicians lie and bullishit their way to power
Italy can't afford to be destroyed beyond recognition by the EU

She taking real steps towards fiscal discipline and the economy is showing upticks. It’s not talked about much but it’s becoming noticeable
you must be living in a parallel reality, her goverment just passed yet another tax amnesty for evaders like all other right-wing goverments have done in the past 30 years. Where's the fiscal discipline in that?
Now from what I understood, the idea is to pay your back taxes as rated payments while ramping up enforcement. I’m not native Italian so sometimes have trouble with the more advanced language in the newspapers I read here. The UBI (reddito di cittadinanza) is also being phased out for nearly everyone.
Meloni will leave Italy in ruins. Said the same thing to the thick conservative voting monkeys in our country. Only now when they cannot afford proper food, heating or holidays do they acknowledge the disastrous mistakes they have made. They always cut taxes for the rich (their funders and handlers), it always damages the economy and lowers living standards for everyone else. It takes a special kind of moron who thinks giving all your country's money away to those with more than they can spend will leave the average man with more in the pocket. Of course it won't, it never has or will
@Devilm00n That's not true, tax reform is a very important thing, the tax amnesty you are talking about are bad debts under one thousand euros, these are small unpaid amounts from small fines that slowly rose. They are not paid because the tax authorities are very aggressive, and a good part of them are inaccurate like "you owe me 158 euro fine" "where did I get the fine?" In Milan" "but if I live in Rome and I've never been to Milan" "prove me wrong", you could appeal, but it costs more than the amount of the fine. The Reform would change this aggressive attitude as a kind of 'Friendly Taxation', more collaborative and coming to the citizen's aid according to his financial availability, with instalments and discounts.
@@askallois What the hell are you talking about? In her reform she made it so that if you have unpaid taxes and the state is not able to get the money back within 5 years the debt is simply cancelled - knowing the speed of italian bureaucracy how many tax evasors will be able to simply not pay anything because the state wasn't able to go after them within 5 years? And no we're not talking about debts that are small fines and rose, we're talking about people who have evaded taxes for hundreds of thousands of euros. We have 1.206,6 billion unpaid taxes here in Italy (that the state knows about, I'd expect the submerged economy would make that number balloon even more) and instead of doing everything in our power to put an end to this crap we keep cutting back on welfare and taxing honest employed workers who have no way to evade taxes. You need to wake the fuck up my dude, Italy is barrelling towards complete disfunction and destruction
I live in milan and the environment here is garbage. Every other day the air is so bad you can't go outside.
Oh, that's pretty bad. A WHO study just found that air pollution is one of the top 3 best predictors of cognitive decline.

France, Germany, Hungary, Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Portugal (not sure about Spain) have all moved in similar political directions to Italy in some key areas.
Spain too, the elections were an anomaly and the socialists hung on to power barely by ridiculing themselves for the separatists. Look at current polling.
it was more than needed. And I said that as a voter for left parties myself.
and they will all swing to the left in the next five years when they notice that populism leads to nothing good.
Yup. And it causes me no end of anxiety to see it. I'm actively thinking of going to the US or Canada if the EU parliament becomes more right wing (this should be a joke but it isn't)

Looser Structures and more national independence is demanded but at the same time more EU-Bonds? That perfectly illustrates how EU-Bonds only benefit the indebted European Counties. Hypocrisy at it’s finest…
If Italy could devalue like it did in the past.... And anyway think for yourself, Italy is at least growing unlike most of western Europe, the only thing Italy need is someone to keep interest rates low so we can reduce debt and not increase debt just to pay interests like we did in the last decades we're Italy was consistently running a primary budget surplus but still increased debt. 🤦♂️ And now economists have widely disproved what the EU did there is even a strong thesis that Italy would have a lower debt to gbp without austerity.
Only the benefits, but non of the obligations. Just a typical populist wanting everything, so when they dont get everything they can go to their voters and blame other people for them not getting anything done.
EU-bonds would benefit the entire Europe IF they will be used for European projects (eg. an European defence). It would be a mistake to use them to finance the member states instead (like they did with the NextGen EU).

@@Hardcore_Remixer thing is in case of people like Orban using it it doesn't mean the same, the selection of people is different.

Coming from an Italian, Meloni wasn't the dictator the media depicted. She's been very moderate and basically just like any other government. She'd make a good PM if it wasn't for her party and allies, which absolutely suck. Meloni herself has what it takes to be a leader and she's pretty reasonable about state matters.

She watered down her views because she is well aware of how impractical they are. They served her to win the election though

The reason why you need hordes of lobbyists in Brussels is because it is so hard to influence so many different nations in so many languages.

You can raise your pigs as you like, but when the possibility exists that you sell that meat to EU citizens you fall under regulations and laws like all other farmers in the EU. The laws exists so you cannot take shortcuts because it's cheaper. It ensures consumer protection and fair competition within in the EU.

The thing is about popularise movements, what they actually want to push and what they can push is very limited to what the people want. We should remember after all that most of them got into power because of angry voters that are not happy with the established parties, they want change but they don't want the country to be turned upside down with radical policies, hence why they tone it down to appeal to more people, in other worlds, many of them become more moderate, the only exception to that rule is if the population becomes radical in high numbers, which is rare and if that did happen, then there are far more problems than it seems, as it is, it's mostly angry voters of how the established lot are dealing with things. With that said, reforms are clearly needed to the EU, but I think it's more in integration in key areas that's needed, maybe some areas could be loosened, but if we are going to improve our effectiveness and economy, which is probably what most people complain about, the economy, that we can achieve more together. The real question is, how to go about the reforms, what areas need more integration and if there are any areas that could be done better more at a local level, and I don't mean national level, I mean local region level. In any case, the world around us is going to force change on us in directions that some want and others don't, in a world of superpowers, it's likely going to put more pressure on us to integrate more into the EU just to stay competitive and to protect our interest, at an individual EU country level, we are too small compared to the big players, which allows the superpowers to divide and play us off each other, which they do all the time, in other words, we need to find solutions of having a cohesive voice among it's members and through the EU if we really want to protect our interest, the alternative is a slow decline, and in the end, the changes we do in the EU will likely drift in the direction of more integration in key areas because of the political and economic realities of the world, especially of a polarised US that's becoming less trustworthy, an aggressive Russia that's becoming more war like and an ambitions China, the changing world is likely going to push us to integrate more even if we don't want to do so.
People feel that the established parties have terrible policies which are leading their countries in exactly the wrong direction to what they want. More European integration will entrench these terrible established party policies. It will make it even harder to do the 180º turnaround they want, at the local or the European level. It will mean more terrible people like Thierry Breton trying to reduce EU citizens' freedom of speech to Chinese levels. That’s not the kind of “keeping up with China” they want. If European countries had more ability to diverge from each other, eventually one of them would flourish by doing the opposite of the current terrible consensus policies. There would then be a powerful practical counterexample which other countries could imitate.

I heard a wonderful idea recently about changing our views that human society is separate from nature.... Countless animals and plants have adapted to thrive in human altered environments. If we started treating cities, farms, and ranches as human-influenced environments while making space for wildlife? We'd solve a lot of problems~ But we do still need to preserve what would places we have left as much as possible. Learning how to safely and healthily incorporate wildlife in our human environments? We could makes lives better for all living souls~
Why the heck should we pay other countries to oblige our law???

My biggest worry here is the environment policies. If Europe doesn't set an example for other countries, no one else on this globe will. And that's how we'll get hell on earth in some 30 years. Genieten van.
The interesting thing is, that the Global South care about climate change the least, but it will hit them the hardest.
If leftist win we would have no country anyway in the future.... 🤷🏻♂️ I don't care and won't fight for an economic area where I don't even feel at home anymore.
I'm afraid you're right. It seems right-wing parties don't realize the seriousness of climate change and since everyone is focused on immigration, right-wing gets more votes.
In 30 years we won't have a country anymore if the left win....
Oh please. The climate doomsday prophets masquerading as activists have been announcing the imminent end of life on Earth for 60 years, and yet not a single one of their bullshit predictions has come true. And every time we get to the date of the supposed armageddon and nothing happens, instead of admitting they were wrong and apologize, they just double down on the BS and move the date of the apocalypse to ten or twenty years in the future.
03:11 Interesting that she still sees it as an ideologic thing after what has been happening year after year in every Summer in Italy - specially after the crazy Summer of last year.

Yeah... Temperature of waters in Florida reaching 101 degrees (body temperature is 98F btw.), eastern Europe record high temperatures IN OCTOBER, but the biggest problem we're facing is the green deal LMAO.
What Green Deal? There is none. Give me the link or it doesn't exist.
I assume you know how long you need to boil 1 liter of water on your stove? Now imagine heating all oceans of the planet how much energy you need for that. And you think so much extra energy is without serious consequences just because it is as warm as you (for now)?
@@AaronOkeanos Brooo... First of all: I do not use a stove to heat water, because it doesn't comply with the ecological, leftist and globalist agenda, issued during the §420-69's meeting of the European Cabal. And second, the problem isn't "water suddenly boiling in a cartoon-like fashion, hurting people bathing in it" (which shows that you don't even understand the problem) but instead, the problem is that waters reaching that temperature, is just an another SYMPTOM of what we're seeing all the time, which is: climate change is real, it's related to radiation being trapped between the earth and the atmosphere in an abnormal and elevated way, related to the increase of gas presence in the atmosphere (CO2 being one of them), and anyone who claims that's not the case (whether is you, or the Meloni) is just dumb, anti-scientific, anti-intellectual, coping, in-denial and most likely has undiagnosed schizophrenia.
@@AaronOkeanos First of all: I do not use stoves, since they were deemed as not efficient for purposes of water heating, by the decree 420-69 of the leftist & globalist agenda. And second: your understanding of the problem as “water boiling people” shows how much you don’t even understand the problem: waters displaying record high temperatures is one of the (many) SYMPTOMS, that not only confirm that climate change is real, but it confirms also that we’re done with looking at global warming as at a problem of the future, because “future” tends to become “now” once enough time passes, and thus we see the climate change having its first effects on us and our environment. Now, you do have two options: own the fact that you’re a denier, and offer us a different model that could (with scientific accuracy) explain and predict the changes that we already see, with a level of accuracy same or higher than the climate change model. Second alternative for you: accept the reality as it is, and accept the findings of scientists who (unlike you) spend their whole lives acquiring knowledge that can be SUCCESSFULLY used to explain and predict reality.
Florida waters are changing because the Gulf current is slowing down. Estimations tell us the current should stop in 2050 if i remember correctly
The Euro is a one way ticket to poverty for Italy as it is an overvalued currency in the same way that it was until recently a big boost for Germany through being undervalued. One size does not fit all.
My add for this video was from the ECR. Advertising a “documentary” (if you could call I that) where the lead would visit “some of the most euro-sceptic people”. Not exactly nuanced. Wonder what the ECRs opinion is in targeted advertising…
So, I understand Meloni's concerns about EU climate requirements impacting small businesses. These are the backbone of Italian industry, and it's true that they'll struggle to adapt. But why fight the new legislation instead of pushing for assistance and investment? I think it'd be better to turn this into an opportunity to revitalize Italy's stagnating economy than to drag everyone else down into stagnation and eventual climate disaster. I can't imagine that history will remember this kindly.
It's simple, it won't just affect small businesses. The "green transition" is going to affect every european business and increase their operating costs. This will severely limit the ability of european businesses to compete with those of rival markets like the developing asian economies that are also the biggest polluters by far e.g. India. It is already hard enough to compete with those markets given the labor regulations, or lack thereof, over there. I'm all for preserving the environment, but everyone needs to be playing by the same rules.
@@veckgames Your assertion isn't true. There's obviously a cost to transitioning to greener technologies, but greater efficiency actually LOWERS operating costs.
@@luke_fabis Greater efficiency would indeed lower operating costs, however we are not even remotely close to renewables being as efficient as fossil fuels currently. It is a gap that can only be bridged by technological advancement that will take both significant time and money.

Destruction of European economy won't "save" the planet even if climate models are correct. Europe just has to protect it's external borders by force as it did in the past.
I'm not against EU reforms that looks at areas where the EU needs to give members more autonomy, a too heavy handed top down authority in Brussels could be disatrous. Also the bureacracy of the EU is too large we need less regulation for business to innovate

Great job Italy 🇮🇹. Support from Latvia 🇱🇻
This comment turned me into a Russia supporter. You achieved the impossible.
I cannot understand just how right-wing parties can want BOTH less green policies and less migration, when we don't pursue green policies, that will cause more people to migrate from areas becoming too hot to live or simply drowning. It's either one or the other, it can't be both.
Don't get it either. Some cu*t somewhere one day said green politics are left wing and the entire right is following.
I don't understand how you believe in things that aren't real.
It's not that middle-eastern areas are becoming too hot to live in, not yet. It's that is fairly easier to emigrate towards EU rather than change your own country for the best. Brain drain is the same thing for developed countries, people find easier to bail towards countries that pay better wages rather than get involved in the system and trying to change it from within. The difference is brain drain happens in accord to every country's law.
You think European green policies have serious effects on global warming?!?! Lol Europe is a drop in the ocean...

It’s immigration that is the most important, in all countries regardless left(Danish social democrats), right(well every right wing party) and center(Donald Tusk, Mitsotakis, Maja Kallas)Europeans want to protect their culture and history and parties that align win.
Words of wisdom.
It's only "important" because of ignorant moguls and air breathers that convinced other idiots in the electorate than less than 1% of the European population is what's causing "issues", somehow.
If the left changes their view regarding migration they will win every election in the next 100 years..... 🤷🏻♂️
The US soft power are a bigger threat to European cultures than immigrants
Center parties are definitely not anti-immigration. Donald Tusk allowed more immigration once he got into power. Mitsotakis is a flip flopper but his only "hard" stance is to secure the borders with Turkey. His government doesn't deport anyone and they also save the migrants that come and sink their own boats in our seas. Maja Kallas is also not anti immigration. As for left wing parties, the only one that is anti immigration are the Danish social democrats. And they're soft on it too. They adopted that stance because a right wing party was dwarfing them a couple elections back.

Too bad about those climate and ecosystem initiatives. It may be unrealistic to put the onus on businesses but we need serious regulations.
I believe standing against wildlife and finding a better way to get cleaner energy is the wrong choice. True, it might harm agriculture, and I know some people don't want a wind turbine in their yard, but choosing to use non-renewable energy resources instead will damage the environment and agriculture more than opting to use green energy.

> Enviromentalism harms the fight against climate change more often than not > Wind turbines are least of my concerns when nuclear gets closed off, and my energy bills rise
"True, it might harm agriculture" - I see people haven't seen anything about history and have no idea what happens when you start going after farmers.
@@Notsogoodguitarguy europe has already experienced african climates once before and plenty of crops struggled. failing to address or at least slow the change in growing conditions will severely affect agriculture across the block.
@@jonathanodude6660 people have also experienced tampering with farmers before. It has lead to famines every single time. What's your point? You think farms are the problem of climate change? Europe's committing a green suicide and isn't even reducing their CO2 usage. We're exporting our usage. We've reduced our emissions by a third I believe, which was already fairly low, while China, India and Africa are ramping up their emissions. The EU can go literally 0 carbon emissions tomorrow and it would change literally nothing. So, why go after farmers? Why not go after industries? Why not start investment funds and support projects for African countries? Why go after farmers?

I want less immigration, asylum seekers must apply in their own country, one European army, less bureaucracy, choose either Brussels or Strasbourg, fewer representatives, direct representation (real European parties with an election theme instead of a collection of local parties), a economic policy that brings European countries together instead of playing them off against each other, infrastructure and waterways must be adjusted so that countries such as Turkey, China, Russia, etc. no longer play a significant role.

A huge yet common misunderstanding of political commentators is to confuse EU goals with the goals of the current left-of-center coalition governing the EU. Meloni doesn’t want to weaken or destroy the EU, as Brexiteers did. She wants a strong EU… with her party at the helm.
That's a dumb idea that will never happen though. She would be delusional to think it won't be some combination of Germany/France/Poland calling most of the shots.

I'm very pro EU and believe most of the complaints the Right have about it are made up but she is right on both Immigration and Farming. As Michel Rocard once said, we cannot welcome all the misery of the world but we need to take our part, which we did and still do. On the farmer issues, the free market is messing people's life. How is it fair for a farmer in France not to be allowed to use a very efficient product (but ecologically bad) while the same farmer in Spain or Poland is allowed to use it, making their food way cheaper to produce? That's unfair competition. I'm a huge proponent of the free market but it needs to be regulated in a way that everyone competes on the same rules. If a product cannot be made illegal on the EU level, it shouldn't be made illegal on a country level, or those products shouldn't be sold outside their respective countries (which isn't possible as per the current laws). I don't trust Meloni one second but she surprised me on her foreign policies.

Simply put, EU may need an electoral college system similar to that of America. Every single member country counts regardless of size, safeguarding a balance of power-distributions.
I feel an impending sense of doom when I see people elect politicians who don't take climate change seriously. Climate change is a huge issue and I think we all know it, but for some reason most people and politicians avoid it or put it in the back-burner. When everyone realizes their mistakes it will be too late.
Scientists started sounding the alarm about climate change in the 1970s. Some choices in the new race to finally address climate change don’t make sense.
We are at the end of a glacial era. Look at the future projections if you think now is allarming lol. You know the poles? They WILL melt. It is simply nature. Humans are too narcisistics to understand we can't control everything
In the end it is pretty simple. More power for every country means less power as an global political player. Because we always played against each others in our little european world. If we want to act together and bring geopolitical weight we have to give up some local tiny power . Another way would be to work together with full local power and form a geopolitical power. But this is more unlikly than riding on an unicorn in the clouds. European history shows it never happens before and it will become even more unlikely with more members. So the only practical way is to cut power of each country and give it to EU. Otherwise we will give up all geopolitical power to China and USA.
EU is controlled by Germany and France. So by cutting power of each country and giving it to EU you mean Germany and France. My country was controlled few times by Germany and last time it ended in genocide. So thank you very much for that advice, but I think that many countries will disagree. The whole dependence on Russia is widely Germany fault not to mention immigrant crisis.
@@violet_green4335 I fully agree. If it have to be a Union, it must be a Union where everyone have equal rights and opportunities. Otherwise it's just a soft version of tyranny.
Nope. The EU doesn't work this way. To give smaller countrys more vote power their vote weight is much bigger than people rich countrys. So in the end an maltese has much more vote power than a German or a French. Besides I guess you are more a russian troll .

>Because we always played against each others in our little european world.
