Little of column a, little of column b. In this case they were the ones suggesting it to begin with, so they saved us from themselves?…
"They"....
The EU is a collection of people of various political leanings, parties and affiliations. You cannot, in this context, throw them together under one word.
That's both the strength and weakness of the EU. Yeah, we bicker a lot and we have different conflicting ideas and values, but that also means we're not easily susceptible to lobbying. An EU member could be lobbied to but other members will not be easy. American companies have used UK before to influence the EU but they're caught out. But the downside is that Putin has Orban and Hungary in his pockets and undermines the decision making of the union.
