There is some opposition, but none of it is making a dent. It's depressing. I can't decide if it's incompetence, corruption, or malice.

We have voted in the most right-wing Parliament and, by extension, Commission, in the EU's history.

It only makes sense they'll prioritize big-business interests over those of the common folk.
