Exactly. All the more reason why people don't care. Having a parliament for decoration is not something to boast about.
- Barrin92 7y agothe parliament is not for decoration simply because it does not elect the head of the commission by direct vote. The EU is a supranational collection of countries, not a nation state.
- buboard 7y agoRight, there are many other reasons too. I actually agree, and i would wish EU would stop trying more and more to become a state, and return to being an economic union that encourages each member to use its competitive advantages to prosper.
