Well, probably, most importantly for me we got the right to chose how much we get involved with the new European Defense strategy. And no matter what conditions are put on countries to help out other EU countries if attacked by an aggressor we still have the right to maintain our neutrality.
Also, unfortunatey, enshrined is the right to decide ourselves on abortion and right to life. Can we not sort out our own mistakes in that regard instead of forcing our women to take their troubles to foreign lands?
Taxation and education will remain within our demain.
The only thing I have a problem with is the qualified majority margin reduces from 74% to 50% and no less than 4 countries can object to a motion. I just wonder how that will affect the small countries objecting when the larger countries all agree....
Things do need to be reformed. I don't think it's a complete change to the way the EU thinks and acts as it does now. It's just streamlining and becoming more effective.
