    It’s about democracy and sovereignty. Let’s say a EU member internationally votes 51% in favor of implementing socialism. Because of the EU membership, it would not be possible to implement due to regulations outside of a single country’s control, and EU is famously very capitalistic in general.

    Not always getting what you want sometimes is democracy though. The alternative is not getting what you want ever, because the government exists to serve the interests of a certain group that most likely doesn’t include you.

    If it wasn’t for the constitution, Texas and Florida would probably hold an election to bring back human slavery, then call it “democratic and sovereign” because they got enough votes from the evil fucks that live there.
