Earlier quoted context omitted.
Put that way, the EU sounds more impotent than I have been led to believe, and I already thought it was a fairly impotent form of government. Who is collecting all of these GDPR fines if not the national governments?
EU is not a form of government to begin with.
The EU has a legislature, it passes laws, has borders, citizens and a monetary policy.
It has limited executive functions but it does have some. It even has courts.
You sure about that? I’m open to the idea, but I don’t see it. A sui generis government that doesn’t perfectly fit the mold of prior systems is still a government. Maybe a more apt description is a government of governments? Sell me on your take.
