> "the people"

You are not the people and you do not speak for them. You are one person, just as I am. I want this, and I was told this - clearly, it's in the founding charta!

Right wing populists always pull this parlor trick of framing their views as the views of the people. The people have many different views, you do not speak for us.

    The French aren't "the people" of the EU either.

    There was no EU wide vote, so you cannot claim "the people" want or do not want things.

    It hasn't just been communicated in the founding charta, but communicated and confirmed over and over and over again. [0]. If you have a problem with what member states do, then I actually agree - that's why we need to get rid of that layer!

    I never claimed your opinion didn't exist, I just called you out for trying to frame your opinion as the one of "the people".
