MEPs don't create laws in the EU, it's the Commission that controls that. MEPs may only rubber stamp or delay them somewhat. They aren't politicians in any norm

  That's a bit too simplistic view. It is true that MEPs lack the right of initiative, as in, they can't introduce laws, only the commission can. I do see this as a major democratic deficiency of the EU system. But there are some valid reasons why this is the case, which is way too off topic to go in to here.

  Perhaps the EU should be reformed to allow more direct representation in lawmaking, otherwise it risks future exits.
