It's even less direct than national parliaments, which already are a joke.
And the unelected bureucracy, careerists, and 2-3 big country interests pressuring others under the table, are driving the show...
- kergonath 5mo agoIt’s just as direct as national parliaments. Citizens vote for MEPs.
- coldtea 5mo agoSure.
- racingmars 5mo agoBut MEPs can't even introduce legislation, they have to get all of Parliament to ask the European Commission to initiate legislation, and the Commissioners are pretty far removed from direct election. Nobody elected by the citizens can initiate legislation.
- meta_gunslinger 5mo agoPlease stop spreading misinformation, the European Parliament constituted by the MEPs has zero legislative powers.
