> And you don't see the problem with allowing processes like this

Oh, I 100% see the problem with it. I think pushing draconian laws, that have already been defeated, in secret backroom deals is dodgy as.

I think you have some very valid points.

I think the centre and left just see opportunities to act without compromise, never considering that it will piss of their electorates. The electorate will reply by voting just to piss off the politicians regardless of the consequences. Just like with Brexit.

That still doesn't mean that the EU is currently worse than actual dictatorships.
