Well, you decided to get kids so that's one point / part / way of fulfilling your life I guess... (I don't get wanting to have one, especially the older I get so there's that ;-) )

Give me a break. Parlimant is elected directly, commission is made of PMs of the member states government, that were also elected. If feels like hearing Brits touting those 'unelected bureaucrats' while at the same time having une
