Actually it was the Left wing that mainly voted yes for this. Just saying.

Source? In Germany at least that's not the case, it's mainly the conservatives who push for it. In the original vote, only the greens clearly opposed it. Later on, SPD (center-left) and FDP (liberal) changed course to also oppose it. Couldn't find results for other countries though, so I'm genuinely curious.

Doesn't change who's in charge now

I believe all parties in EU are not really understanding technology in general. So I think it's a very bad decision to give these people power over these kinds of rules. They just have no idea what they are doing frankly.

Yep, no disagreement there. This sort of mass surveillance is a fucking terrible idea no matter who's behind the wheel

exactly, they these people are constantly trying to come up mass surveillance, over and over and over again. Never ending story.

There are pirates. Well, after last elections it seems to be the pirate. Only one.
