Neelie isn't an MEP. MEPs don't have much power, so ambitious people aren't interested, so the B team gets sent, and then nobody wants to give them much more responsibility.
- smhg 9y agoNeelie was indeed not an example of a MEP (read different comments in parent-parent-parent's thread for distinction). But there are definitely examples of driven 'A' team politicians in the EP. And those are more easily heard because of the lack of attention to the laid back types. So the possible higher amount of the latter isn't even an all black-white bad thing. And since many are positive about the results of the EP: does it even matter?
