There is no "pirate party" in France? I've found them to be the only privacy minded parties these days sadly.

Only euro skeptic parties are against this sort of bill?

the best way to change the EU is to not leave it

I am not sure I follow. I was talking about electing MPs who are most capable of voting down laws.

It turns out that in France the MPs who could do that are from the far right and that is why I asked the question above.

as I understand it, euro-sceptic means wanting to leave the EU. I'm thinking that if you want someone to vote down unreasonable laws, then you should vote for who seems the most reasonable

When I wrote to the various U.K. MEPs in 2018 regarding the (awful) proposed EU Copyright Directive, the only ones that intended to vote against it were the Euro-skeptics and the Greens.

I was impressed at how the Euro-skeptic MEPs understood my concerns and took the time to write back to me in detail. They seemed by far the most democratically engaged of all the MEPs I communicated with

Make of that what you will.
