It's a lot of text, but I believe still written by a human. An angry human. That's how I assume it (likely) wasn't chatgpt.

ChatGPT or not it's still pinpoints the problem with EU and very anti-democratic system it has.

  • What would your ideal EU democracy look like?

    • I don't know what's ideal but it should be more direct and more local. If the goal of democracy is to implement will of the people the current system fails miserably as the loyalty of party officials is to the party not to the people (it's more important for them to have good position in the party than among local voters).

      In Poland for example you can't get to EU parliament if you are not chosen by centralized party committee to run. You can't get in as an independent because your party needs to get 5% of the votes in the whole country. This means we not only can't vote on issues but we can't even choose people to represent us unless they get a nod from the party. Guess whose interests they are going to defend once in power.

      This makes power completely detached from the voters. The only politics is inside the party. This is not democracy by any reasonable measure.

Are you just being a narcissistic snarky ass or something? The void of your knowledge does not substituted for competence my friend.

  • > The void of your knowledge does not ??? substituted for

    I appreciate that the phrase is self-referential and contains its own void.
