It is as worthless as the candidates one votes for. More education on the importance of what gets discussed on the EP would make people demand more from the candidates they vote for. Politics and media have an incredible adaptation to mass-demands, because they either live of their vote or their audience. It is a graveyard because nobody cares about it being a graveyard, and for the same reason it's not on newspapers or the TV, because the majority does not care (or, alternatively, the majority is already busy enough with internal politics).
