BalanceLost 1 week ago#1 The Swedish PM introduced them in November 2015 and they made immigration numbers drop like a rock. Now the EU is demanding their removal by November 12th since they violate the EU law of free movement within the EU. Support for the controls here in Sweden is high so this could lead to a decrease in positive attitude toward the EU.

I don't know much about the appeal process, but I would think that Sweden could try and make their case in an EU court that since a lot of other EU countries didn't honor their refugee agreements, borders had to be closed.

If the EU wants to make this the hill they die on, that's fine by me, but you're more likely to see a breakway union forming than you are all these nations suddenly falling in line.

s0nicfan 1 week ago#21 JE19426 posted... snesmaster40 posted... This is why Brexit happened. How so? Too much EU control being asserted over a nation's dominion. A full 30% of the UK's laws are EU laws. They can't fish off their own coast because the EU designated it as a fishing zone for other countries. Brexit was the result of the EU attempting to assert full control over the UK's sovereignty by going even further and telling them who they can and can't let into the country. All these things combined make people in the UK feel like their nation was being taken away from them, and that led to the rebellion that was Brexit. "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Brexit was the result of the EU attempting to assert full control over the UK's sovereignty by going even further and telling them who they can and can't let into the country. How so? To the first point, being told they can't fish in their own waters isn't entirely different from being told they can't catch as much fish as they want because other countries get a share too. My point was more their territorial waters had been divvied up, but I was incorrect on to what extent. To the second point, while the refugee crisis wasn't the sole cause of brexit, it was part of it. There was a desire to limit the number of refugees coming into the country and the EU basically told them no in the same way that Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, etc are all being told the same thing.

So when the EU says things like “Welcome to hell” at the negotiating table, as well as promising to “teach the British people and others what leaving the EU means”, or calling it an “an educational process” for the UK... when they say there are "extremely serious consequences" for leaving, none of that comes off as throwing the UK under the bus?

The EU has been pretty open about using the UK to scare off other countries from leaving. Junker himself said he'd make an example of the UK that no one would want to follow Think it's kind of backfiring though Who is leaving the EU specifically because the EU are trying to make an example out of the UK? I mean, it seems like more people are starting to look down on the restrictions including a lot of Swedish citizens Got any polling data to back up that notion? Not trying to call you out, I'd be legitimately interested in seeing it. Trigg3rH4ppy posted... As someone who doesn't live in the EU and doesn't completely understand the inner workings of it, it kind of blows my mind how not everybody has to play by the same rules and how there seem to be like different tiers of membership in the EU. The US has different tiers of membership, too. Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. reportquote

Lesser membership in the US requires you to pay just as much taxes etc, but you don't get to vote for president. Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. reportquote

There are some flaws with the social safety nets so people fall through the cracks, but there aren't a lot of better places. Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. reportquote

This has nothing to do with the EU, though. Yes, there are EU critics, there always has been. But just citing SD's growth isn't enough to conclude that "people are starting to look down on the restrictions". And well, SD doesn't really seem to understand what EU membership actually entails, but that's another issue. Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. reportquote
