- mcv 4y agoI think this needs to change, yes. The European Parliament is the only democratic body on the EU level, and as such needs to have more power to at least check the Commission. Mind you, there's plenty about the European Parliament itself that could also use some improvement. They're still moving between Brussels and Strasbourg every month, for example.
- Aerroon 4y agoEven if the EU Parliament gains more power, what difference will it make? The MEPs are from the same parties that the national governments are formed by. They're just grouped together slightly differently.
- mcv 4y agoThe difference is that they're directly elected, in proportion to the electorate. Well, almost; small countries are overrepresented in the EP, I believe.
