I didn’t downvote you, but I understand why others may have. You claim the EU isn’t a democracy and then mention reaching out to your MEP. Additionally, calling out those who disagree with you as “ignorant as usual” may be seen by some, myself included, as a premature conclusion.
1) The national and european politicians have been already elected and they have been elected for different reasons than the copyright laws. The copyright laws are not decided based on a democratic referendum.
2) The EU is a complex organization and not just the democratically elected EU parliament.
I mention the reasons why the EU might not be a democracy and why the decisions regarding the new copyright laws are not very democratic.
Even if the people had a choice (direct democracy) which they have not, the people would need to know about what is at stake by being honestly and completely and actively informed by EU and the mainstream media which they are not.
It is contradictory or undemocratic to do both:
- Say the EU is a democracy because the representatives in the EU parliament have been elected to make the decisions at their own will.
- Say that people (opponents) should get involved to pressure or to beg the representatives to enforce the preferences of the loud opponents (probably a minority).
