They hire like two lobbyists with 100k of splurge money and this won’t pass, for sure.
If voting or filling a petition changed anything they would make it illegal.
By the way, the left could have done this for any number of issues in the past but refused to.
Like how hard would it have been if everyone who showed up to a George Floyd protest instead donated to some fund that then went to paying a lobbyist/think tank to work for them in Washington to change laws and make sure the police officers and department actually saw justice.
Are you a bot
Are you

It would be more effective to get a quarter of 1.4 million people organized with united demands and on the streets of Brussels with the actual risk of projecting threat violence on EU bureaucrats, then StopKillingGames or any petition or demand would have a much better chance of passing. At that point you wouldn’t even need collect any names before hand :) All the voting, all the petitions all the representation only exists to act as an filter and push the little people people and their little people idea’s far away from actual power as possible.
I’ll be positively surprised if this passes, but I really really really doubt it. Too much money at stake here just for the sake of having some pro consumer common sense.
The EU has gotten us pro consumer common sense a number of times already, like with iPhones and the GDPR.
There is no way that you believe people showing up in streets would do anything lol
That’s what the powerful hope we do. It’s the most useless action possible. It’s like trying to boil water by breathing hot air on it. You’ll get tired way before you get any boiling.
You literally couldn’t be more wrong

The EU is not swayed by this kind of thing easily.
