Leave the EU, why even bother, it's voted NO and 2 years later, they make us vote again on it. We need to defend ourselves every time but they only need to win once.

This is basic abusive behavior. Asking somebody again and again after they've already clearly said NO until they get a yes. Such a relationship is not a healthy relationship. If this issue gets discussed again, the EU should be classified as a non-consensual power structure, and the people should revolt against it. Leave the EU.

Or at least clarify that national law must take precedence before EU law again.

And go where? Stop being a pussy, if people keep running eventually there won't be any "free" countries left to run to.

Leave where to exactly. Need to know as fascists are on the rise again. Please.

Leave to a better variant of the EU. Tear it down, then build it up again, with the important rule in place that national law precedes EU law, i.e. countries can't be forced by the EU to do something that the people in that country don't like.

Wait what? Like i would love to have a better working EU as i am happy with many aspects of it but aside from voting and protesting i am unsure how to push for real reform.

So... the single digits of countries opposing this should leave... so that everyone else can have this backdoor implemented? Wonderful idea! /s

unironically yes, if they want it, they can get it.
