The small parties are another matter. [13:37] techrightssec2 But for some of them they go to the EU and work against their own country [13:37] techrightssec2 and without reporting on it and without the national news services reporting [13:37] techrightssec2 on it either. Then when the malicious plans are approved, they go back and [13:37] techrightssec2 pretend that they had nothing to do with the decision and that they are being [13:37] techrightssec2 "forced" into it by the EU despite having negotiated such crap through a process [13:37] techrightssec2 lasing many years. [13:37] techrightssec2 Or so it looks. [13:37] techrightssec2 There are some really good people there too but they are few.
