    It’s so crazy to see so much of the Eastern Bloc line up in favor of a new Stasi. Bulgaria? Latvia? Slovakia? Croatia? You really want a powerful state government breathing down your neck?

    Hell, even Ireland? After decades of oppressive British rule, you should fucking know better.

    I would be very surprised if Germany continues to oppose. Our new government is made up of conservatives who believe as long as they do the spying everything is good and nothing can go wrong - and famously spineless social democrats.

    For much EU legislation it only gets implemented if there is consensus. Often one country can block quite a lot, see Hungary.

    Why is this different?
