Well such timescale would in any case depend on EU, not on convenience for any british parliament. There are now N. Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, [ Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo ?], Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, [Turkey ?] all in the queue to join EU. On the other hand, it might help from point of view of geographic and economic balance, otherwise the centre of 'gravity' will shift even further SE away from Brussels. I think to expand EU has to reform processes, to end all vetos and generalise multi-speed / opt-outs.
Meanwhile a new british government could implement obviously convenient win-win cooperation step by step, until there isn't so much left to change. And I'd be happy to see Scotland and Northern Ireland take a lead.
Sure, but diplomacy is not logical, and EU has a habit (mistake?) to do things in mega packages (look at 2004). Last I heard, the gossip was 'by 2030'.
Is this intentionally english speaking, or does this just reflect the population of lemmy ?
I'd prefer a multilingual europe instance, ou chacun parle sa langue, para aumentar la diversidad.
As someone who is in the process of immigrating to the EU (will be allowed to vote next cycle), can I get a layman's summary of the parties and what they stand for? Thanks!
I'd like to be able to vote for pan-european parties, but voting for Volt only works in very large constituencies (such as Germany).
In most other places it likely reduces the chance of getting pro-european MEPs who might consider implementing such an option.
What other strategies can help ?
"they were not supportive of asylum seekers’ freedom of movement and would prefer them to live in a designated place (respondents were 8.3% more likely to choose the latter option ... "
But who do they think does this designating, and according to what criteria, is the result really anywhere near optimal for anybody?
Doesn't it make more sense for people to have the option to move, in their own time, to where they can find housing, jobs, languages they know etc., than be stuck in ghettos where they happened to gather due to various short-term factors ?
But what can "maximum vigilance in these last days" do to counter last-minute fake news ?
The night before the brexit referendum, facebook distributed loads of fake messages on the theme of migration (e.g. especially targeted to south asians to say they could have more chance at family reunions if there would be less east-europeans, while targeted to others to say there would less asians ... ), all of this after the other channels were silent following the murder of Jo cox.
