- coldtea 4mo agoSure.
- racingmars 4mo 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 4mo agoPlease stop spreading misinformation, the European Parliament constituted by the MEPs has zero legislative powers.
