Personally I have very little faith in the political process for citizens. Lobbying only works if you can throw the kind of money the MPAA etc. have at it. At least, this is the impression I get from the US - I've not paid as much attention to EU-level politics.
I did try engaging my local MP when I lived in the UK, which was a complete failure - he didn't ever reply to any of my letters.
Personally I'm more inclined to start my next company in the US instead.
- czzarr 15y agothis kind of thinking is exactly why the US startup scene thrives and the EU startup scene is so fragile. There are so many untapped opportunities in Europe and so much less competition in EU markets and I think that makes up largely for the european drawbacks.
