I see a lot of salty nationalists in the comments. Facts are an inconvenience to them.

@@fightfannerd2078 Don't be salty.
@@deeznutz8320 Those aren't facts, those are the opinions of winging snowflake nationalists.
well as a brit i very much liked my covid jab so fuck the E.U and good save the queen
so funny hearing eu nationalist obsessives call others nationalists. whether you or ranting loons like guy himself...
I was not aware that the EU has more than a little influence globally. But it makes some sense.
It is very tedious and slow to create a new regulation in the EU. It needs to be democratically accepted by 27 states with different cultures and preferences. That means that we force ourselves to really think it through. The result is that it is very slow, but results in high quality of regulations.
We do that to find common rules under 27 different states, with 24 languages. I do not think that anybody thinks about global influences when discussing with his 26 partners.
So, we produce good consumer-friendly regulations, just as we produce good cars.
And we feel honored if the regulations are used elsewhere. I think her description is very accurate. We do not want to enforce our rules elsewhere. And it is very hard to influence our rules from the outside. Do not forget that we found a democratic decision with 27 participating states. If you want to influence something from the outside, you have to convince 27 independent parties first. Good luck with that. It's not about protection from the outside, it is as hard for us. The main difference is: we are used to it.
Yeah yeah high quality regulation like that one about the maximum curvature of cucumbers, remember that one? LOL
@@Vasileski88 I do, you mean 1677/88 / EEC for sure. But it is not about the maximum curvature of cucumbers! It defines quality classes.
It is about the cucumber curvature maximum in a quality class. The maximum is related to the quality class, not the cucumber. What happens at the maximum is a change in quality class, nothing happens to the cucumber.
For example, if you order a box of cucumbers of class 1 quality, you can expect they are straight enough to stack them. If you order cucumbers of class 3, you get some less straight cucumbers, maybe semicircles and spiral shaped.
So the cucumbers do not have any maximum curvature. It means that you can order cucumbers that are straight enough for use with your slicing machine. Here, it is a maximum of the machine, not of the cucumbers. Any cucumber no matter what shape is a perfect EU cucumber. There is nothing special about the cucumbers, it is about what a customer can order. If you want to order straight cucumbers, everybody in the EU knows what that means, how straight it needs to be.
You can write that as
"It is about the maximum curvature of cucumbers in a class."
I see that it is not easy to distinguish. I see it as the job of a journalist to make sure it is not misunderstood.
With this better understanding, would you agree it is a good regulation?
Do know that a lot of the regulations she is talking about are about market regulations. And most of those are passed through qualified majority voting, so not every member state has to vote in favor of the regulation. And decisions made through qualified majority voting are a lot faster
@@Roman-po8yc I think you misinterpret the idea behind the Brussels effect. Most countries in the world fight regulation so they can have a competitive advantage when producing goods compared to other countries. In can mean that they keep environmental regulations down or consumer safety regulations down. In practice this means that most countries are trapped in a race to the bottom regarding regulations which ofcourse is very bad if you care about the planet or consumer safety. The EU has simply found a way to curb this trend and change it into a race to the top instead of a race to the bottom. By regulating global markets they can dictate how products are being made which means they can enforce environmental regulation or consumer safety which means its better for the planet and better for the consumer. Since the EU is the only entity who actually makes this possible at the moment you should indeed feel grateful about the EU.
The UK is busy proving that this woman has done a very good analysis. The UK faces very difficult years.

Who is paying for the defense of the EU ?
Do you know what the weapons systems are worth which the USA uses to defend the European continent?
Do you think the EU can keep its broken welfare state and pay for its own defense ?
I agree. It’s a good quote.
@@Vladimir-hd5nn It is a moralistic and provincial world view and hence a silly quote.
Looks like Ukraine thinks differently, as does Israel and anyone else fighting for their liberty.
@@dirkbogarde7796 I guess you're taking word export for word defend. Words defend and export are different words in the English language, as far as I know. Those words tend to describe different activities.
@Dirk Bogade I believe the only State becoming democratic in occupation and due to an armed conflict _ever_ was Germany; and they only reverted to a better Version of what they had before the fascists took power. Go ahead, name a single other State where democracy was the direct result of armed conflict, and not of internal uprising or deliberate transformation by the ruling class. Which is btw also what will likely happen in Russia: Ukraine won't make Russia a democracy, which is what you alluded to in your comment. Egypt didn't become a democracy after Israel won a war against them.
Furthermore, stating Israel as an exemplary democracy is short-sighted, considering the oppression many of the non-jewish people there face.
Very concise, logical and well structured. Very interesting aspects about regulations. "Markets are not always self regulating." sounds reasonable.
Of course they do, and that's the Crux of the matter; the thing is that most of the time, Markets that are solely regulated by themselves are _terrible_ for everyone but those directly earning the big money. That's why one must differentiate between internal and external regulation in regards to a market. Leaving a market only to internally regulate, means it's only oriented towards making the most money and in a quick way. Only external regulation can prevent the degradation of values and the distancing from pure greed. Exactly because it is _not_ in the interests of the companies involved.
What an intelligent woman. I live near Brussels. I learned so much from her presentation. I still hope we can cooperate with the US. we have so much in common.
First the US has to move more in the direction of the EU. But currently it tends to drift further away.
@@swanpride bwahaha cognitive dissonance.popped out.
How about a common language? Flemish & French won't cut you much slack in say, Iowa or California? And I thought Microman wanted to ban English throughout the EU bloc.

As a side issue purely for my own personal interest, how is Spain's debt towards the EU?
The EU is a German empire.
You have the same effect in Europe itself. The power and influence of northern Europe (Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Germany) on the rest of Europe.
I would say rather that other countries tend to look at the scandinavian models for social healthcare, for example. On those issues the scandinavian countries acts as a gravitational centre. And on other issues there are other states where everyone gravitates towards to.
I feel highly obliged and humbled by the Grace of God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

There is a confusing conflation of the EU and Europe. The EU is a much smaller group than Europe.
Err not really
Not true. The EU population is 447 million, Europe in total 746 million, so EU countries account for roughly 60%. And the percentage is even higher if you look at GDP.
@@carnaxide2120 European but not EU: United Kingdom, Switzerland, Russia, Norway, Iceland, Georgia, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, North Macedonia, San Marino, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine, Vatican City
@@CharlieVane21 Hi Charlie. Aside from the UK, there are three countries on this list that have considerable financial assets totally independent of the EU (by and large), namely Switzerland, Iceland & Norway. Liechtenstein & Monaco are more of, well, investment opportunities for the wealthy, but still very well off even so.
@@CharlieVane21 44 countries in Europe, 27 of them are EU states.
Monaco, the Vatican, Andorra, San Marino (and Liechtenstein basically) are all too small to be EU members but they de facto are in it since they use euro (except Liechtenstein), have open borders, are in the single market etc.
Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein are countries of the EEA and thus extremely close to the EU. They’re basically half in half out. Switzerland is in the EFTA with the three countries fore mentioned and they too have an economy massively linked and affected by the EU. Not to mention the culture factor and the open borders.
Turkey is not European.
Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro are all EU candidates, with Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina being potential candidates. Moldova, Ukraine (and Georgia if you count them as European) all want to join the EU and have formally applied.
Belarus and Russia are, well, Belarus and Russia.
The UK is of its own kind. No country in the continent has a relationship with the EU similar to that of the UK’s. They’re a former member and they’re the only non-authoritarian country in the continent that is neither very close to the EU (with EEA or EFTA) nor are they in an active procedure to get close to and/or join the Union. That is, if you don’t count Northern Ireland who’s in the single market (and outperforms economically the rest of the UK) and of course Scotland who has a very strong independence movement that wants to join the EU.

Bro, most of the time we can't even get France to start making sense and stop antagonizing half of the union. How are we even close to world domination?
@@aaronlong3462 lmao, what a deflection! My point still stands, the EU is a mess that actually doesn't even have the slight control on what goes on in the union (ffs we let a dictatorship do whatever the frick it wants in our democratic union) and we also have really weak foreign influence compared to superpowers like the Us and China. We still are the cool kids club of the world though.

dont be silly.
read "the brussels effect: how the eu rules the world." its happening as we text on silly you tube.
@@miltontohd6448 Like every attempt to unite Europe, whether it be the Roman Empire, Carolingian, HRE, Louis XIV, Napoleon, etc, it will ultimately fail. The EU is a heterogeneous polyglot. Successful federal unions, e.g. USA, Canada, Australia are largely homogeneous, especially in the economic sense. The core of the EU will come to resent the periphery, the periphery will come to resent the core. The core through subsidsing the periphery, and due to its drain of labour, the periphery will ultimately push back too. As we stand in 2021, the only way it can survive as it is is to integrate further, e.g. fiscal and transfer union, it has no choice. This will ultimately fail. It's more prone to failure than the Soviet Union or even Yugoslavia.
@@CharlieVane21 ultimately it will fall but it def is rising up now and will control the world for a short time, then it will fall.

@European Socialist Union I don´t support anyone. I just pointed out that the authoritarian arrogance of this woman (especially as enemy of free speach) is not the future of the humanity. The self complacency of this woman is hilarius....
@European Socialist UnionI live under a militar dictatorship in my country, anytime that I hear someone defending censorship in the name of superior values, I consider this people authoritarian.....
@European Socialist Union if you are not aware of censorship, we live in a different panet, go ahead, go woke...but then don´t complain when far the right wing win an election cause it´s your guilty.
@European Socialist Union not for you, for me is censorship the way it´s been carried out. I´m against hate speach, of course, but the people have the right to disagree with you. They claim hate speach each time some people disagree with the " dogma"..is astonishing that you´re unable to distinguish between who disagree with you with all those who really hate other people. Uncapable to understand the difference between someone who is against compulsory speach with who is in favor of offending trans comunity (as happen with Jordan Peterson). But I don´t care, you will get what you deserve.
@The Floppa show - SUBSCRIBE! Well, she is not an American. I can't fathom how people can listen to a lecture without checking who is giving it, what's their background and, when possible, who finances them. No wonder how people get manipulated so easily.
I would disagree with Dr. Bradford on Brexit as well as the statements she made sound clearly political. British companies will take the niches of the local and international markets that the EU companies do not because of the overregulated EU environment. This will make the set up of any new locally and internationally trading businesses much easier, will significantly bolster the local and international economic competition and will significantly diversify the UK economy. The main point is that the UK decided to set their own regulatory environment, whether the EU compliant or not, EU compliance would be the choice of the individual corporations, but the UK economic advantage is that now they have both choices at hand.
Economic advantage have you being paying attention to the uk lately. Once the uk breaks up (independent Scotland and reunification of Ireland) it will have no choice but to rejoin the union. The country of London will drive it.
@Les Ward The won't be an independent Scotland, not for as long as there in a Monarchy in the UK. If the UK Monarchy fails, the whole of the former British Empire would fail and will be a big global mess. Without it, the US won't stand to China and Russia and won't control the global trade and finance. It is very unlikely HM will make the move, not given the numbers of UK and UK-linked citizens of AU, NZ and CAN. Moreover, the EU suffers huge ideological losses on the Eastern Front, in the Baltic States, where illegals are beaten up and thrown over the border on the other side, once they dare to cross into the EU. This is not counting the anti-EU revolt in Poland, Hungary and the rest of the Eastern Block, even under threat of sanctions. To put it simple, the issue is not Britain or its Monarchy, the issue is the "prey of the cultures of Europe in their entirety" that the EU aimed to change and replace with multicultural societies, something it would never swallow and digest. This is why it is breaking up. The only way is another European War or mass anti-government and anti-EU revolts in Eastern Europe. EU enemies know this EU geopolitical vulnerability very well and are actively exploiting it in numerous hybrid warfare attacks, like the ones in Latvia and Lithuania at the moment. It's a dead project. Even if Scotland breaks up from the UK some time in the future, looking at how it goes, there simply won't be anything for the UK to rejoin.
@@Mr.L007 To add to the above, I will also give you a glimpse at what is going on behind the veil. It seems that, following #Brexit, the UK and Russia have reached a behind the door agreement on how to "share" Europe (?). They are posing as some sort of "allies" now (without the Bidenist US), although it is clear they are not. In this tweet pic, the Russian and the UK Ambassador pose together in Tehran, exactly at the place (and on the furniture) where the famous Tehran Conference was signed on 01 December 1943 between Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill, leading to the defeat of Nazi Germany. In International Relations, it's a very symbolic pic and a symbolic location. The pic was taken on 11 August 2021, exactly the height of the Lithuanian and Latvian Migrant crises leading to mass protests of the locals and the engagement of military to hold onto the border. Now it's time switch the brain "ON". twitter.com/RusEmbIran/status/1425387040447901698?s=20
@@Mr.L007 Brexit has actually made the break up of the UK far less likely. Let's say that Scotland voted to leave the UK whilst the UK was inside the EU Single market and customs union. This would cause very little disruption to the Scottish economy because the UK, and an independent Scotland, would both exist inside the SM/CU. Though once the UK has left the EU SM/CU it would have a dramatic impact on the Scottish economy. This is due to the Scottish economy being far more integrated inside the UK single market and customs union.
Remember, the UK SM/CU is over 300 years old, and covers far more of the economy than does the EU SM/CU, e.g. services. 65% of Scottish trade is within the UK SM/CU compared to 12% for the EU SM/CU. Interesting fact, Scotland trades more with the RoW than it does the EU.
Support for independence is falling. Factor in a hard border with England it is likely to fall further. Moreover, the phrasing of the question itself is important to the reality. Asking anyone if their country should be independent is somewhat of a leading question. I'm surprised they got away with it last time. Would they have let the Brexit referendum be decided on such a question? Not in a million years. Alternatively, when Scots are asked whether their country should leave the Unite Kingdom, the answer is a resounding no. Interesting that.

Unfortunately, having completed a Master's Degree Mrs. Bradford is forgetting that the current and historically established cultural (meaning ethnic, religious and customary) environment is the singe most important factor in the economic success of every nation on the globe. Any society will only advance when it has the freedom and the social consensus and cohesion to do so together as a society. Arguing about populism Mrs. Bradford states that the populist and euro-sceptic parties do not care about consumers, climate and cost. However the fact is that they do, to a much greater extent that the EU as a superstate does. Many think that racism is the reason for the anti-immigration sentiment, it is not. The reason for the anti-immigration sentiment is purely economic, heavily backed by the social cohesion and social security concerns. There is no point in trying to make someone to play by your rules if they not only don't understand them, but also that they heavily object to accepting them as a society, and at the same time expect them to perform their best commercially, even out of European unification thoughts. This is economic nonsense to expect Poland or Hungary to rapidly change their cultural environment and think that this would benefit their society and their economic performance. Hence, I do not accept that euro-scepticism and populism are bad for the EU, they are the single most valuable argument we have ever had in the European Union.
I am from Poland, and most polish people want to stay in Europe, and half of Polish people want to integrate more, (only 18 % are against) and the parties which criticize Brussels are doing it just for looks. I do not agree that people are not welcoming to immigrants just because of the economics reasons, cultural has the same, and I believe that especially in Poland MORE factor, because immigrants in Poland have high employment rate according to Eurostat. The parties in my country that are euro-sceptics often do not belive in consumers rights, and human rights so they do not want good servies for people just money.
It seems to me you do not know exactely what populism means, nor scepticism. If what you say is right, the UK should say: "Well, we know that Brexit has forced quite a lot of small and medium firms to shut down (source: Daily Telegraph and all other newspapers), that the fishing industry is worse off than before (same source), our shores are infested by shit and piss since nobody can prevent polluters to do so (source: same as above), vegetables are rotting in the fields, pigs had to be culled for shortage of abbottoir workers, yet, my God, the freedom fo be able to choose all this, as opposed to someone forcing me to live a better life, has no price. Instead you Brexiteers go on about the French making life difficult at Dover, the EU pretending goods checks and sanitary declarations and so on. Why do not you rejoice? But you main problem with you is the vague idea you have of Populism. try and be more specific.
LOL the EUSSR is about to collapse
Yup.
