Why are the EU so concerned with keeping freedom of movement (permanent residence) with free trade? I see no correlation.
Why did they not consider freedom of movement (temporary residence up to x no. of months) or, now with security concerns - freedom of movement for only those whose industries heavily benefit from it (EU and UK), such as touring productions (aka. they apply for a EU wide visa pass for so many months with evidence of why needed, in advance).
It does feel very much like a globalist agenda where they want permanent residence available to people that have no connection with the potential country.
How do they expect effectively to fix someone's ills if they can't communicate in their language
They seem to think they have a right to deciding this without the people's vote in countries that aren't their own and have got mixed up in thinking a continent is a political entity rather than a geographic area. Political nations are necessary to keep the world in balance - people and economy.I think it's because in the hearts of some of them is the objective of a single European super state.
That's not where we want to go of course, but it is where some of them want to go. Not allowing free movement would be like not allowing people from London to visit manchester, which thinking about it, is a great idea.
It's a fundamental part of the European superstate. People have to be able to go where the jobs go. So fruit pickers to Spain, engineers to Germany etc. They are attempting to centralise all industries to take advantage of economies of scale and have no care for the mess it leaves behind. See Greece for example.Why are the EU so concerned with keeping freedom of movement (permanent residence) with free trade? I see no correlation.

I see. Comes back around as another byproduct of this version of capitalism - removal of concern for national integrity. The endless pursuit of currency and faux-status, like an arcade for suit-wearing adults trying to hit the high score.It's a fundamental part of the European superstate.

The reason Greece is in the state it's in is very little to do with freedom of movement. It's almost entirely to do with the fact it fraudulently joined the Euro when its economy was too weak to meet the criteria set for joining the single currency. If they had their own currency it would have floated to the correct level in relation to its economy making its exports cheaper and encouraging inward investment and tourism. Unfortunately there's no way out of this mess apart from austerity and bailouts. It does however benefit the stronger Euro economies by dragging the currency down enough to help the likes of Germany to run a huge surplus because their exports look cheaper than they would if they had their own currency. That's why the Euro is fundamentally flawed unless there was actually a United States of Europe, which was presumably why it was introduced in the first place to facilitate this.It's a fundamental part of the European superstate.

It's a sample form of democracy. It's not the will of the people as they aren't voting. The MEPs are the ones voting, who form their own agendas as matters arise which affect a range of other issues. The only influence people of the country have is to vote for a party based on what they say in the country's election run/by-elections, this may or may not reference matters within the EU, but as I say - they each affect a range of issues on such a grand scale as the EU. They aren't voting for MEPs directly, but MEPs are elected based upon party results within different regions of the nation (this is my understanding of how MEPs are elected in basic form). You see how removed the power of influence by the people becomes.Who's the "they"?
There's a European parliament with proper democratic processes. It may not be the same democratic process as ours, but representatives elected by the member states make the final decisions. That's democratic.
