>AFTER THE European Parliament voted on Tuesday to pass the Copyright Directive, including the much-criticised Article 13, some MEPs are now claiming that they voted for it by mistake.
>It passed by just five votes, and European MPs from Sweden have now said that they didn't mean to support the motion.
>Apparently, they pressed the wrong button.
>In short, they claim, the intention was to "open a debate" and whilst usually EU votes can be altered after the fact, this time, it appears that the vote will stand on the "tough cheddar" amendment (which we just made up).
>It would be very easy to go down the "you had one job" route with this, especially given the rather draconian nature of the legislation, but the whole thing is such a bewildering mess, it's not entirely surprising.

Article 13 passed by accident
theverge.com
>Ten members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have said they voted against a crucial amendment to yesterday’s controversial Copyright Directive by accident.
>The legislation was approved by the EU Parliament yesterday, with 348 MEPs voting in favor and 274 against. But a last-minute amendment that would have let MEPs take a further vote on the inclusion of Articles 11 and 13 — the most criticized parts of the law, known as the “link tax” and “upload filter,” respectively — was rejected by just five votes.
>Official voting records published by the EU show that 13 MEPs have declared they accidentally voted the wrong way on this amendment. According to the record, 10 MEPs say they accidentally rejected the amendment when they meant to approve it, two MEPs accidentally approved the amendment, and one MEP says he intended not to vote at all.
>If these MEPs had voted as they said they meant to, the amendment would have been approved by a slim majority. Then there would have been further votes on whether the law would include Articles 11 and 13 (renamed articles 15 and 17 in the final draft), though no one can say how those would have gone.
>These voting records are routinely published by the EU, and they give MEPs the chance to correct the record if they voted the wrong way on legislation accidentally. But those corrections have no effect on the outcome of votes, even if a majority one way or the other is gained or lost.
>“There is zero recourse,” says Marietje Schaake, a Dutch MEP who brought attention to the mistaken votes on Twitter. Schaake told The Verge: “For the record, you can change [your vote], but as the President calls it, that’s the result. Whatever the President calls is what matters.”

SWEDEN YES
You had these protests though, massive numbers.

>Tens of thousands of people across Europe staged protests on Saturday against the European Union's planned copyright reform bill.
>In Germany alone, 40 rallies took place, alongside demonstrations in Sweden, Poland, Switzerland, Austria and Portugal.
>Munich police said 40,000 protesters turned out under the motto "Save our internet." Organizers said Berlin's protest (pictured above) drew 30,000, with participants walking past the center of Germany's collaborative Wikipedia online encyclopedia. Police put the number of protesters at 10,000.
>Some marchers chanted "We're here. We're loud because you're robbing us of our freedom" as they marched through the city, according to DW reporter Oxana Evdokimova.
>In Potsdam, banners included the phrase "We are not bots," a reference to robotic-like social media posts.
>We are not bots
The options:
1. these people are incompetent. We are represented by idiots
2. they lie. We are represented by corrupticians.
3. the voting system is insanely difficult, this happens every time, all votes are incorrect.
4. the voting system was extremely difficult, but only for this vote. More corruption.
All options are very bad.
95% of people are bots, NPCs.
FUCK YOU SWEDEN
>by mistake
i doubt it
(((mistak)))
Swedes really do live up to the dumb blonde stereotype.
>Sweden
CAPTAIN SWEDEN SAVES THE DAY YET AGAIN
imagine being being allowed into EU parliament and at the same time being incapable of making a correct vote in yes/no scenario
these """"""people""""" unironically decide our future
>mistake
So why don't they just fix it?
Now even the left will hate them
>Boger Face
desu it's probably just a ruse
you vote according to what your industry handlers tell you to vote and then feign innocence to your voters afterwards seeing as your vote has no effect anyways you might as well turn it around.
it's a win-win
It's either corruption or incompetence but when it comes to perfecting both the EU are masters at it.
>being a europoor
Don't laugh pls it's srs
Damn i never thought of that, you make a really good point. Thanks
>Mistake
>accident
That's a pretty good bluff.
Don't let them weasel out of this, yurocucks.
too late
This might be just the beginning. The big problem is normies being complacent, this is almost trivial compared to other matters, namely migration, and now it might not seem like such a good idea anymore to allow fools like these to make decisions on their behalf that they're not even paying attention to.
How much coins do you need to have for a node?
This story isnt nuanced, the MEPs from the Sweden Democrats wanted to vote for a debate on articles 11 and 13 but there was a miscommunication on what order the vote was placed so they voted to keep the proposal as is. Even if the SD MEP votes went through, the Social Democrat MEPS all voted yes to keep the EUCD proposal as is. There are 2 SD MEPs and 3 S MEPs so it wouldn't have made a difference.
If people are ok with pic related they'll be ok with anything else the EU does.
If you ask me this wasn't a mistake. It's a test of compliency. It's a guaging reaction and resistance. If it goes as planned more "mistakes" are going to happen
Several things that need to be clarified:
1) The vote itself was not the wrong where they "pushed wrong"
2) It was in the vote about if they wanted to make changes tot he amendment. 2 MPs pushed the wrong button. Had they pressed the right button the motion would still have passed by 1 vote (315 for - 314 against) as opposed to 317 for - 312 against as we got now.
Their fuck up changed nothing, but it's still an embarrassing mistake nonetheless.
fuck your mcaffee meme
was not the one*
It's coming to America inside a decade I guarantee it
what does this mean, what is the pol take on it?
3 of the social democrat meps still voted against so it would have still failed if the SD meps voted properly
Probably got paid by the (((copyright holders))) to vote for article 13 while saying they're against it so they can get reelected
>Accident
HAHAHAHAHA ABSOLUTELY BASED.
