"Do you think that your country would work is every citizen would need to agree to some law?"
I like how switzerland works. If there is no broad support for a new law, then it does not happen. So not everyone has to agree, but yes there must be a broad consensus. I think this can also work on the european level, but of course not, if every small detail has to decided on the top level. Only the questions of europe wide concern should be debated there. There need to be some standards, but not universal standards for everything. I mean, we cannot even decide for Strassbourg or Bruessel for parliamanet..
It is just a definition of "broad" that is needed. Today for the EU is "every country must agree". If we set up a definition o f"broad" based on population or contribution (or contribution per population) then it could work.
I understand that this is not ideal for smaller countries (or the ones that do not participate enough) but it is difficult to admit that whole countries are taken hostage by others, independently of their participation.
This veto-based system simply does not work at scale
Yeah, that is true. There also should be a mechanism for kicking members out, if they are not constructive, yet remain on the receiving end. Just the threat of it, might help.
