So, is the EU Parliament postponing it because they didn't like the media attention and want to try it again when there are other things that attract media attention in three months time, or because they actually think it is a bad idea?
- psergeant 8y agoHardly a homogenous group
- rsynnott 8y agoHow do you think a parliament works? It consists of multiple parties who generally don't agree with each other; it does not generally do things as a group.
- josteink 8y agoHe is right in that this was tried passed during the summer & world-cup when most people are not paying attention though. That's clearly not coincidental.
- paulie_a 8y agoWhy would the world cup be a factor?
- josteink 8y agoThe big masses are busy with the World Cup and not paying much attention to news in general. Not to mention that the newspapers themselves are reducing political coverage significantly to give room for the World Cup, so that those who still would like to pay attention have a reduced ability to do so.
- nhebb 8y agoFWIW, I think you're asking a legitimate question that should be thoughtfully answered instead of downvoted. I don't know what to call it other than "internet cause fatigue" but it does happen, and I believe that there are lawmakers and bureaucrats that take advantage of it by postponing votes and/or bringing the same issue to vote down the line under a different label.
