So you think the MEPs made a bad decision because they were mis- or uninformed, but then you would trust that the population on average would be more informed?

- philpem 8y agoThey were about as well-informed as much of the general public. There's a Youtube video kicking around of someone (I forget who) going round Europarl asking MEPs if they'd actually read Articles 11 and 13. The most common answer, by a country mile, was "no". We elect representatives to read these things and make a reasoned decision on our behalf. Not to do the political equivalent of putting on a blindfold and throwing a dart, hoping to score a bulls-eye.
