Subject: Is European Union good or bad thing?

otherwise 60 millions people count like one..


Exactly what I mean!
Latvia: 2 millions people
Lithuania: 3 millions p.
Malta: 400k p.

Italy: 60 millions
Germany: 80 millions
France: 65 millions

Do you think that is right to have 1 EU authority for those big country as well for the small countries? Come on...big countries rapresent millions and millions of people and we have to do what 2 millions people from a small country decide... that's unbelievable!...

Sometimes little countries make smarter decisions than the big ones...

Spain: 40 million

It is not a fairytale...
small countries represent few people and they are also easy corruptable...
big countries represent lot of people and they should take bigger decision...

Thats stoopid. Small countryes have te hove same weigt on their decition and the big ones do. What does it matter,that Italy,for an example, has more ppl,than some smaller country has? People vote and there will be percentages. So,when 2m in latvia vote for something and get 75%,than it's still 75% even,if they have 60m people. Thas soo stoopid how big ones try to rule smaller ones.

Ok this is an example.

If a country has 2 millions people they should have 1 EU delegate
If a country has 10 mil. people they should have 5 EU delegate
If a country has 60 mil. people they should have 30 EU delegate.

In this way the vote of 2 millions people will not be the same as the vote of 60 million people.

And Ripp, the word "stupid" is written like this, and if you don't respect others opinion you could use a more appropriate language... :)

I absolutely disagree with that. If the number of votes should be related to the number of inhabitants then only the big countries would have any votes. That would mean that small countries like Malta and Luxembourg would be a part of those bigger countries already. Like I said before: the European Union is there to cooperate, not to rule.

The system you're proposing is absolutely stupid and can't be implemented at all. If it would ever be implemented it would mean that countries like the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Cyprus, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Romania would leave the European Union immediately and the European Union would consist of only Spain, France, Poland, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom.

and germany xd

If the EU would consist of three countries, one with 2 million people, one with 10 million people and one with 60 million people, than the nation with 60 million people would rule the other nations. That stupid, especially because smaller nations are often better able to govern their own countries. Smaller countries are more stable than bigger nations. The corruption you're talking about is the biggest in big nations, not in small nations.

Yes. I forgot. Germany is very important because it has the most inhabitants.

I know what happen in 56... what I meant is Italy was probably the poorest country at the time... anyway the subject had moved on since

I'm quite sure about that Italy was the poorest country at that time.

The corruption unfortunately is everywhere (big and small countries).
I respect your opinion, but as you see I think the opposite... in my opinion big countries should not be ruled by small countries...
And the EU was good as it was until 1995, with the 12 countries.
After that I accept Slovenia, Malta and probably Czech Republic to join the EU for their good economy... but other countries (I don't need to write again the name) should not join so easily and quickly EU... there are differences that everyone can see... sorry if I'm wrong...

Small countries currently do not rule big countries, that simply isn't true. Small countries have the same vote in taking decisions, that's a good thing.

"there are differences that everyone can see"

So what? What's wrong with differences?

Small countries have the same vote in taking decisions, that's a good thing.

This is what you say. In my opinion that is not right.

So what? What's wrong with differences?

Economic differences, is it so difficult to understand? I surely don't mean ethnic differences...

And what's the problem with economic differences? As you may know the southern part of Italy is poorer than the northern part, should it be expelled from Italy? Wallonia is poorer than other parts of Belgium, should it be expelled from the Belgian Kingdom? The northern part of the Netherlands is poorer than other parts of the country, should we be expelled from the Netherlands because of that? Italy was poorer than the other founders of the 'European Union', did we make a mistake by letting Italy enter the union?

Or is it just stupid to refuse poor countries to enter a union where they would better be able to improve their situation and catch up with their neighboring countries?
