Glad we could delay it for now. It will come back again and again with that high of support though. Also the German Bundestag is already discussing a compromise: https://www.bundestag.de/presse/hib/kurzmeldungen-1108356. They are only unhappy with certain points like breaking encryption. They still want to destroy privacy and cut back our rights in the name of "safety", just a little less.

The bigger issue is that we need to make the EU actually democratic. Start by removing every branch but the European Parliament. That's the only solution.

The EU parliament is highly dysfunctional. First look at the number of MEP that have been indicted for corruption. Also in the countries I know, political parties send as MEP their least able politicians that they don’t know what to do and would never be elected if their name was on the ticket. Combine that with the flaws of all the national parliaments and you get a sorry clown show.
