For many EU countries, Germany in particular, getting a control on borders and illegal migration and asylum entries is something I think is long overdue, already causing a lot of large-scale issues. Mind I'm talking about migration, not the already strict immigration structures. Legal immigration works well in most EU countries, but the slack control of illegal migration and asylum seeker holding areas means you're practically "punished" for entering legally vs. illegally.

For Norway particular, I look at what DOGE is doing and would love something similar here, even if our wasteful spending is "nothing" in direct comparison. But we're also a country of only 5.5m and proportionally there's still a massive amount of government waste on things like "foreign aid" where time and time again it ends up going to warlords and despots and back into the pockets of politicians.

Seeing as the original parent comment to mine got flagged and removed, I'm not going to bother explaining anymore, as I'm already receiving significant downvotes for even agreeing with it, and this will likely get flagged and removed as well.
