Not long ago, Europe's last remaining feudal state, The Island of Sark (off the coast of France near the English Channel) was told by the EU that it had to change its system from a feudal monarchy to a democracy -- or else. But the residents did not want to change anything. They were just fine with having the Seigneur of Sark as their unelected lord, but the Labour Party and the EU didn't care.
The people of Sark were just fine owing fealty to a lord. It's tradition and they've done it for hundreds of years and had no gripes about it.
So why does the EU need to bully around a small island??? Don't they get enough joy bullying around larger states like Italy or Poland?
