Is anyone else thinking how she managed to travel to so many different countries just to take a scene of her saying one sentence referencing that country?
AB IH well we have good infrastructure to move around quickly
Seem like a hassle but she's getting paid for it so she definitely doesn't care.
Did she use one dress in all countries she visited?
Europe is small and well structured.
In the whole video, she only went to Brussels (Belgium) and London (UK)? A train links both cities in 1h50min...
EU : More than 350 million people from 28 countries vote.
India : Hold my tea.
India: 900 million eligible voters
Every country has its own election laws. Some countries vote for person, some for party in some you can choose both. Some countries have "lists" which is like party, but not actual party. Methods that are used are also different in every country, some use percentage some more advanced methods.
All those democracies have own system. That is 28 different election systems combination.
Eu save yr butt or get Charred. Deport all ofenders to their camel lands, take in no more of these Fiends..
Anonymous What? No beers?
Quality over quantity.
it's very complicated but very well explained. thanks.
The real explanation is this fact -
The EU elections are a masquerade.
The EU "Parliament" is not a true Parliament, it has no powers to produce laws, 27 "unelected" EU commissioners make the laws and the mickey mouse EU "parliament" rubber stamps what laws the Commisars send down to them.
FACT.
DYOR.
@@LiftOffLife the 27 commissioners have to be supported by a majority in the EU parliament to be appointed. Sometimes, they are rejected by the EU parliament. The EU parliament can also make the commission resign by a 2/3 majority vote. Even if the parliament has not the right to initiate a bill, it control the commission like the parlement control the government in any parliamentary democracy.

*India just concluded their month and a half long "election festival", where over 600 million people voted (out of the 900 million eligible voters). That was the largest democratic exercise on the planet, where constitutionally a polling booth is available within 2 kilometers or less from every citizen, from urban cities to villages to mountains to jungles, and everything in between. Indian's election operations are studied as a case study in many business schools around the world.*
India is one country
@@user-ei7ed6zy9k That's what uneducated people like you don't understand. India is over a dozen countries combined in one. Do you have there are 22 different languages in India? So for example, when someone from the north part of India visits the south part of India or vice-a-versa, they speak English. English is one language that unites communication in India. The same thing is applied in different cultures, religions, food, and many other things. India is THE MOST diverse country on the planet.
@@stephaniehale946 those are culturally different regions. Siberia Russia is a lot different culturally to Western Russia. India is still one country, you moron. The UK alone has more than 22 different dialects. Stop being so stuck up. Your name isn't Stephanie. It's Rakesh and you run a call centre
@@user-ei7ed6zy9k actually the UK has hundreds of dialects once you take into account the foreigners. The UK alone is more diverse than India. Europe and the Anglosphere is far more diverse than India. India is basically a monoculture when compared to the West.
@@user-ei7ed6zy9k He is talking about languages, not dialects. You are definitely ignorant about India. India has 1600+ languages(all are written and 28 major languages and each language is as distinct from other as German is different from English ) and dialects are unaccounted. You cannot understand Marathi by knowing Gujarati. Furthermore, We have all the religions and many different races. India has more diverse food than any other country. Go to Gujarat and you will find more diversity than your own country in just food variety. And those who are saying that they have few foreigners and that makes them diverse. India has more westerners than your Indian tally. Cultural changes almost at every 50Kms. You don't have an idea that how much south Indian culture different from North India. Or how much north India and northeastern cultures are different. Even just the clothing of every culture is different. Yes, currently we all use the same clothing as you people do but culture clothing is completely different around India. Learn all about that and at least go and search for it. Don't compare west to India. Then you have to compare west to east and you will never even come close to the diversity of the east.
Good to see some facts about the democratic process in the EU explained!
Democratic... Lol
@@muskrat477 Yes, democratic. Voters go to the polls and choose the MEP's in the European Parliament. What's difficult about this to understand. I mean, do you think it should be like America where the person who comes second in the presidential election wins or the UK where the winning party only needs 38% of the popular vote to form a govt?
@@mlc4495 the sham parliament with abysmal voter turnout? LOL it doesn't even have people's consent to be a governing body in the first place, no one was asked and when they did get to vote on anything EU related they were made vote again until they gave the EU approved answer or were outright ignored...
@@muskrat477 I am pretty sure they were referendums held at the signing of different treaties like the Lisbon treaty and such.
@@objectdefiance4027 wrong,Ireland was the only country to hold a referendum on Lisbon...and then had to vote again until till we gave the EU approved answer.. Lisbon was also the rejected EU constitution voted down by French and Dut h voters... repackaged and disguised to cut off any calls for referendums on it, the EU is not a democratic organisation
Awesome
The German Community of Belgium is an exception on the proportional electoral systems with using FPTP
Great
Nice
In EU More Than 350Million Voters from 28 Country Vote,
While in India More Than 900Million Voters from 29 States Vote.

Didn't know so many Indians watch CNBC
So whats the problem? Its the internet. Everyone can watch whatever they want. And they are making a valid point about the number of indians voting. Nothing to be ashamed of
@@zilindogomes1767 well this video is about the EU. I people gave a shit about India then maybe it would be covered
@@user-ei7ed6zy9k you didnt understand what im saying. Its not about being covered or not. Its about the bullet points that cnbc is using to sell the news. Talking about the amazing number of people who are voting. As an internet user it doesnt makes sense to say that when india can easily dwarf that number. Cnbc is in the wrong here. The internet is just the internet. They will point out if something isnt clicking
Well it's time you become less ignorant
@@user-ei7ed6zy9k News isn't you white people's property.
Don't give a damn about EU but I would definitely like to know more about Silvia
We want this system in Asian countries also
They forgot to mention Parliament doesn't write the laws.
Well they vote on them. But they are proposed by representatives of member countries (elected) governments. Just felt that needed some more context
@Russian Troll so Im told of course it is not an accident (before I continue, I don't think the EU is perfect) but the power balance in having the only people able to propose legislation being appointed by the (elected) national Governments then vetted by those directly elected to the EU means that each countries government still keep much of the power and the EU isn't making decisions without giving the member states a say on it. Again it is not perfect but this way means power is shared (and actually tilted towards the national Govs).
-edit. For more information would recommend the following vid by "in a nutshell" th-cam.com/video/h4Uu5eyN6VU/w-d-xo.html
@Russian Troll so Im told well the EU was actually set up to achieve peace within the European Continent which it was been very successful in doing. Ultimately the only way we can change any aspects of the EU is to remain in it. The best deal with the EU is in the EU. And I have to disagree with you Brexit is a step backwards to narrowmindness nationalism and isolation from progress and greater European Society and Culture.
Unfortunately yes. However MEP's do have powers to reject Commission bills and frequently demand amendments to proposed laws before accepting them.
That said the EP should have legislation initiative like other parliaments. Then the lunatic Europhobes would need to find something else to attack the EU on.
Good

Is there an Eu constitution.
The Lisbon treaty, the French and Dutch voted the constitution down so the EU acted all underhanded and included most of it in the Lisbon treaty, were most countries ratified it, bypassing a vote, except Ireland who had to vote again until they gave the EU desired result..
@@muskrat477 Is it possible for you to speak in coherent sentences?
@@mlc4495 you might want to brush up on your comprehension... Or ask your school for a refund....
@@muskrat477 That's a no I take it.
@@muskrat477 There is a constitutional treaty, the Lisbon Treaty. But it is not a constitution per se.
Simple, people vote,vote are counted and seat devided by it
Not quite
Yes so quite, explaining every coutries voting system and how they count does not make it dificult. In the end each countrie had so many seats and they just sent in their result.
@@gianni7415 Yeah Sure :) my Comment was just in regard to votes From One Country -> Seats of that country devided accordingly.
So that was the only Thing i felt needed to be Added. Other than that i Think your right. ^^
Don’t ya just love the buildings the governments have for the so called elected officials? Pretty darn nice.. And who pays for them?
Dont ya love jeff betos flying into space while his employees cant take piss breaks. I wonder who pays for that. If you wanna be jealous, be jealous at those who are actually in power
Why publish the video now? Everyone voted already!!!!!!!!!
For curious people like me :) I live in the United States, a bit worried about hearing far right groups winning
@@BadKid95US they didn't win, they got more sits but didn't win at all.
@Russian Troll so Im told of course
@Russian Troll so Im told they win power but they don't win the election. And no I don't like left-wing fascist mainly because they don't exist. By the way, a party cannot be fascist being left wing mainly because left-wing or far-left if you like is the opposite of far-right. The only ones trying to get rid of some rights are the far-right parties not the non existing left-wing fascist
@Russian Troll so Im told one more thing are you British? because if you are why don't you leave already and stop complaining and blaming the EU for your own problems.
I didn't know this --- we vote for a party but we must number them 123 - ?? no one told me that ============ I voted for Lib Dem as I'm annoyed -- but it seems could have voted more lib Dems as the number of damn party 2 were Lib Dem --- 3 were Conservative and so on ===
the EU should be dissolved.

Hundreds of millions of citizens are eligible to vote in this year's European Parliamentary elections...REALLY? I wonder
But brexiters say they eu is undemocratic. To me it looks more democratic than their monarchistic and lord based country.
V3rciS yeah most people have no idea how it workes, and just saying the EU is undemocratic is an easy way to earn votes😓
@Russian Troll so Im told The British government chooses its European council members and its council of the European Union members who choose who is in the European Commission together with the European Parliament. so yes it is democratic but you have to vote twice.
@Russian Troll so Im told its called representative democracy.
Russian Troll so Im told most of the EU is on the rise economically. The traditionally poorer east is gaining ground fast! And it’s so lovely to see😄
Russian Troll so Im told well just in another way, because when you elect those in Britain, they’ll send delegates to sit in the European institutions. So it’s still elected by the people just not directly😄🇪🇺🇬🇧🇬🇧
So European countries are just states not countries. So when they take about socialized healthcare is in a state level not a EU level right. So who pays for defense.
Shut up.
No European countries are countries not just states . The EU is not a federation like the US.
Healthcare and defense are both countries responsibilities, not EU.
India is first,700 million above people gave votes..
yes, but it's the only election which involves multiple countries
Simpel, they choose themselves.
Europeans: "American voting system is way too overcomplicated!"
European voting system:
It’s not really complicated. It’s very easy to comprehend and much democratic than having an electoral college.
@@aranso Frankly, Electoral College does not make smaller states more important. Or does anybody care about how Dakotas or Wyoming vote? No, it's the swing states and only the swing states that profit from the Electoral College: PA, FL, OH, WI, MI...
@@LadmeBStill does not change the fact that it is not democratic that each Dakota gets the same number of Senators as California...
@@magalicochet4327 You are responding to a three year old comment, mate. Anyway, I definitely did not say in this thread that EC IS democratic. Also, note that some comments are missing. In the comment above I'm replying to some aranso person, whose comment does not show up for me now.
Now try to explain the commission. If that part of the EU was abolished, it could become a true democracy
The majority of European governments are elected in roughly the same way as the EC. Do they need to be abolished too?
The reason for some 'undemocratic' aspects of the EU is to protect the sovreignty of the Member States. Especially These Days the two Major cririzisms against the EU are 'undemocratic' and 'infringing in sovreignty ' the EU the way it is Now is a compromise between those two aspects. That said, every body of the EU is elected or chosen via direct or indirect Democracy. The are either voted for by their Citizen, or the Governments of the Nations who themselves are democratic.
@Russian Troll so Im told But those commissioners are picked by national governments who got their positions democratically. This is done to protect the sovereignty of national governments. You cant argue both sides..
@Russian Troll so Im told Commission is appointed by governments of members states. Those are all elected. If you want better commission you should have voted better to elect better government in your country which would appointed better commission. EU is club of countries. Not single country. We should have only such legislature with which member states agree. So I disagree with parliament having right to propose laws.
You can already see how domestic issues in big populous countries are driving composition of parliament. One hashtag movement with some panic on social media and they can elect some stupidity like ban on nuclear energy or something. Germany has 99 MEPs, Finland has 13. Guess Finland can go back to candles because they aren’t populous enough.
Parliament it there to affirm that majority of EU population agrees with decisions of governments of member states. It’s same logic but other way around. Germany, France, UK and Italy have bigger population then rest of EU. So they won’t be outvoted by groups of small countries. They still can reject any piece of legislation in parliament.
Not really, it has a history of ignoring referendums or having them rerun until it's get the result it wants, the organisation is built on very antidemocratic practices
EU : With 350 million votes, this is the biggest democratic election exercise
India with 900 million voters: are we joke to you?
Yeah but India is no longer a democracy thanks to Modi.

Didn't get very far before giving up. No we don't vote for law makers, the commission are the ones who propose law who are unelected. The number of meps also dont align to population size some much smaller countries get disproportionate amounts by their population.
wrong, the commission is chosen by the government, and since the national vote chooses who is in government, so yes you do vote for lawmakers.
@@kubortthedane9487 heads of government don't choose the commission
@@gavinbissell8847 yes they do, indirectly, they choose who chooses them...

And they said America’s voting was confusing...
America is a country, and the European Union is not. Apples and oranges are differebt kinds if fruits... but still they are fruits all the same
Nothing confusion on. Each country just vote by their own systems and on their own parties and devide their amound of seats. Thats all. I can't vote for a italian party and they can't vote for a Belgium.

Abe ye Kya chutiyaap h
Starting off the video by calling the EU Parliamentary Elections as one of the biggest democratic exercises in the world does seem a little exaggerated when compared with India, especially since India's elections ended 3 days ago. Rather they could have said that it is one of the most important democratic exercises given that the EU is a far bigger economy.
Its not exaggerated because it literally is the second largest democratic exercise, therefore being one of the biggest in the world, the size difference between the largest and second largest is completely irrelevant.
😂lo
0:55 hold on, so my Country only gets 1 MP per 860.000 Citizens while Luxembourg gets 1 MP for every 100.000 Citizens ?
sounds very unfair to me..
i just looked it up, Germany has 16,2% of the EU population but only 12,8% of the MPs in the EU Parliament.
and people accuse us of owning the EU or having our ''4th Reich'' and other bullshit..
@@LegendNinja41 they're just trying to stoke fear and anti EU feelings for their own ends.
@@LegendNinja41 still you have far more representatives than any other country. For example in mine is 1 MEP for 870.370 voters so the biggest countries are underrepresented that always happens.
@@gfyphg9871 still less per capita.
@@LegendNinja41 still those countries must have representation and preferably not only one MP for the entire population because that won't reflect the population will. in the case of your country or mine although the amounts of votes per MP is bigger you sill have a good example of the opinions in the country.

European parliament gourup. Rules tellmy. All ather country
pará começar só votamos para os deputados de parlamento da UE ........
para a dita presidência da UE não é votado por isso não e democrata a presidente e PM francês não representa nada só lobistas e banqueiros
So very similar to the way the leaders of North Korea get elected.

Nice dude
It's not a parliament. It has no powers to draft, revise, delay, or reject legislation. It has no powers to change the EU constitution. It can sack the entire commission, but nothing less than that; which would be an unimaginable nuclear option. It cannot hold officials to account.
Kk u are really cute, but i have to break it to u. Indian elections witnessed a whopping 850 mil.
1:08 Germany, like all other members states, do not elect *any* lawmakers because MEPs don't make any laws.
EU law is made by the *unelected* European Commission, then amended and/or approved by the *unelected* Council of the European Union, then sent to European Parliament to be rubber stamped.
Everyone who is in the EU was voted directly or indirectly by the people if you think about it. The European Parliament was voted directly, the European Commission is voted directly through the national elections. (People vote for the party that controls the national government, and then the national government represents them). And with the Council of EU, they are ministers who rotate from the national governments. (their party was elected to hold seats in government). This means that all three bodies were elected, so directly and some indirectly.
@@PiotrMorawiec Not quite, I think you're confusing the European Commission with the European Council.
The European Council is made up of the 28 heads of state/government of the EU member states. The Commission is also made up of 28 members but they are not elected, 1 of those members (the President) is nominated by the European Council (which can be any EU citizen) who is then approved by the Parliament. The other 27 members are then nominated by the Council of the EU and President together (again they can be anyone so long as they are an EU citizen, the only condition being that each EU member state can only have a single commissioner). Those 28 Commissioners are then either approved or rejected by the European Parliament.
Since it is the Commission that actually writes EU law and they are at no point actually elected by EU citizens then it is not a democratic process.
@@RuleBritannia1987 So essentially the Council (heads of state) nominate a president of the Commission. Then the president of the Commission and the entire council (heads of state) chose the rest of the Commission? Then isn't that still democratic? Because elected leaders(heads of government) chose the commission and then on top of that the parliament(which is also elected directly) confirms them? Maybe I am not understanding this correctly?
@@PiotrMorawiec No the 'rest of the Commission' is nominated by the Council of the European Union *not* the European Council.
The system is not democratic because the body that writes the law (European Commission) *is not* elected by the group that has to follow it (EU citizens).
Russian Troll so Im told this is an europe of nations so country governments have more power than the parliament if you dont agree with your governments role in Europe you can vote it out
One of the biggest democracies in the world? It is the biggest!!!
India is bigger
India is the biggest with 900 million eligible voters and the turnout was over 67%!!!!!!
There really isn't anything democratic about the EU. Besides democracy sucks.
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. In free governments, the rulers are the servants and the people their superiors and sovereigns."

What's the use ? Isn't this EU parliament just a rubber stamp parliament ? It can't propose/table bills on its own (Done by EU Commission ) nor can it repeal laws (Motion must come from EU Commission ) . So much for elected representatives.
true, it's the national government that chooses people to propose bills.
It can approve or kill bills, also it has an approval/disapprovak in the appointment of the Commission.

Was there any kinda real elections in USSR? Nope. Is there real democratic elections in European Union? Answer is: Yes.
Anymore silly questions?
USSR was totalitarian from beginning to the end. Only elections were hold within the party everything else was just facade.
