    Awesome. This is such an important video. The commission is maybe the most missunderstud part of the EU. And a lack of understanding offen leads to very wrong conclusions. It's very helpful to have this video to clear up things. I have to admit that although I like to think of myself as someone with an above average understand of the EU I still need to freshen up on the details from time to time. It would be great to have it for every major EU instutuon. Another great video EU made simple!!!

    I am so glad this video is in English so that a certain group of people on a certain island which is no longer in the EU can understand:
    1. The parliament can elect or reject the entire commission and
    2. The Parliament can dismiss the entire commission including the Commission President.

      I agree - and as well as a lack of information about the EU in general, the Brexit campaign was effective in giving people the false hope that change against the status quo would improve people's lives. It is often easier to make the case for change than the status quo. The Remain side was also hopelessly complacent. And David Cameron, the Remainer prime minister, robbed us of our EU citizenship for his career gain (as did Boris Johnson on the Brexit side, who had even been a Remainer). Very poor timing for a referendum apart from that it was just for Cameron's career, as it was right after the financial crisis and during the refugee crisis, which was a gift to the Brexit camp as an emotive and visual campaign point that could be blown out of proportion, making British people (esp in financially difficult situations) believe migrants were a problem, and somehow thinking the EU had anything to do with it (I do not understand how the Remain campaign did not make it clear that the UK was not in the Schengen Area, so freedom of movement was always controlled).

    • @miscellaneousvideos8879
      @miscellaneousvideos8879 Рік тому +4

      @@Espiritu_de_Obiwon I technically misused the term 'freedom of movement', and more meant 'border control'. The EU has the Schengen Area policy, which means that, unless there are exceptional circumstances, the borders are open and identity checks are not customary. That means that you can cross borders without the need to show a passport between Schengen Area countries. To get on a plane, you just needed to show a form of ID - that could be a driving license rather than a passport, and wasn't a border control, but rather a security measure for getting on a confined mode of transport such as aircraft. However, the UK opted out of the Schengen Agreement back in the 1990s, which meant that borders were always controlled, and the same physical barriers are up against illegal immigration before Brexit as after. Which means Brexit has little effect on the strength of the border, but just adds migration restrictions and longer passport checks. True, part of the Brexit argument was to be able to "have full sovereignty over the UK immigration policy", but when the Brexit campaign included photos of asylum seekers and illegal economic migrants (unhelpfully joined into one category) and posing them as a threat to social services etc, Brexit is not going to change that. The physical borders are no harder to try to cross. And sure enough, migration across the channel continues to be a significant point of contention. So any border sovereignty gained by Brexit, on balance, has just hurt the UK, its labour force, and reduced opportunities for UK citizens who would have enjoyed what the EU could offer, many of whom were, like me, just shy of voting age at the time! And of course, I wish the UK could welcome EU citizens in the same way as before. On a side note, lowering the vote to 16, which was debated at the time, would have led to a Remain result, but the Supreme Court ruled against it because of the financial cost (how ironic!) and because of fear it would set a precedent to lower the voting age for all elections. But Scotland's independence referendum was for 16s and up - and it's arguably right for something so determinate as a referendum.

      As was said at the beginning of the video the government/parliament of each of the 27 member state appoints a Commissioner to represent its own national interests regarding the proposals presented by the Commission to the EU Council and Parliament. The Commission is the Civil Service of the EU and the nationally appointed Commissioners have oversight on what it produces. Please explain how supranational organizations, whatever that means, can be inter-parliamentary bodies? Do you mean organisations within each of the 27 national parliaments or an organisation within the EU Parliament? What do you think the 27 national Commissiomers are there for? Of course they lobby for their own countries' interests. Are you suggesting that the EU Council and Parliament are merely rubber stamping what amounts to edicts from the Commission? If so why do some of them get sent back to the Commission in order to be ammended/adjusted/redrafted?

    I still think the eu president should be elected by the people. Because it is weird that the president who needs to represent the eu, can not be chosen by the people. I also think this is a major reason why people are euro sceptic. And maybe i have a solution for that. Every member state can bring one candidate. But ofcourse you have candidates from left to right so it needs to be desided by different voting rounds. For example in the first round each member state brings a couple of candidates the people in that specific member state vote for a suitable member the one with the most votes is the candidate that will be on the ballot for running as the eu president. Before the second round every candidate needs to have a vision for the eu so they will be debating with other candidates then the people should be able to watch those debates. And then the people can be able to vote for the one they think have the best vision. And then after that the president need to select commisioners together with the council.
    Btw i think this Chanel is very nice to have. Because for example here in the Netherlands there is not much Attention to the eu and its system. I think that is also the reason why not much people vote for the eu Parliament because people don't know/ understand how the eu works.

      I do think an elected EU Commission would go along way with the people when it comes to the image of the EU, after all, the best way to close down Eurosceptic debates, is to look into the areas that they complain about.
      The advantage of that is that it will make it much harder for Eurosceptics to win over the public, because by shutting down the most common complaints we get from them, it will push them to argue on more radical areas, which will make it easier for the public to see them for what they are.
      For now, the EU makes it quite easy for the Eurosceptic parties around the EU and I do think there needs to be a big push to change that.

  • @markdickson3820
    @markdickson3820 Рік тому +4

    Like everything EU, it's complicated and resource inefficient. I've always thought that the undemocratic accusation was overblown since its democratically elected heads of state/gov't choosing them, so it's democracy but one step removed. That said, with the increased visibility and incredible influence the president of the commission has, it is time that eu citizens had a direct say on the election because I know from when my country was a member, eu elections were often a protest vote against gov't of the day and that does a disservice to the commission because it's hugely powerful proposing new laws. Direct elections would make eu elections more seriously consideted I think. A previous video the channel made about claims eu was undemocratic was mostly an anti Brexit piece that made some fair points about house of Lords and fptp system - but I'd respectfully point out Lords is the reviewing chamber not the proposing laws chamber and the power most absolutely rests in house of commons and whilst fptp has downsides such as smaller parties needing to climb higher to get a mp even that has benefits because proportional rep systems are gov'ts that are often run by bureaucracy whilst long negotiations happen and end up in a gov't that are inheritantly week being made up of many parties.
    I think the EU has past it's infancy now and has grown so large and become so entwined in citizens life (& spends such an incredibly shocking amount of tax money) that it's time for a reform with directly elected (pan-eu) parties president, no national vetoes and generally organising itself into a united states of Europe. It's a road that people where I live couldn't follow you down, but that doesn't mean it's not a road worth taking and it seems like the inevitable destination (with the poss exception of defence as nations are going to be extremely reluctant to give that up even if very pro-eu).
