or more honestly

I know what it does.
It does piss all. The European Commission does it all, and they're not elected. All the European Parliament have the power to do is get upset about it.

It's retarded opinions like this that mean the voting system isn't that fair.
It should be illegal to not vote, then at least the numbers would be more accurate.

It doesn't really matter how accurate the numbers are,
when they concern a completely ineffectual non-government.
I voted in the national and Scottish elections.

You really are an imbecile.
Either that, or dekion's sock puppet account.

Youn are.
You appear to be labouring under the misapprehension that the European parliament isn't an absolute farce of an elaborate pretence at democracy.

your understanding
of EU decision making is out of date by a treaty or two. you're almost at UKIP levels.

True or false:
European legislation is proposed by the European Commission, which is appointed, not elected.

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S DOG IS REALLY A FRENCH ROBOT

OMG! True or false?

TRUE

( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Thu 4 Jun 2009, 14:35, archived)

true or false: the council asks the commission to come up with this legislation

true or false: the council and parliament both have the power to knock said legislation on its head or completely change it
( 100% kitten better than ever, Thu 4 Jun 2009, 14:21, archived)

is that some kind of answer?
ok.
true. But the council isn't who I'm voting for here either.
true. The "parliament" is similar to the House of Lords in that respect, although it has to make its decision in parallel with the Council of Ministers, which is also not elected.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 4 Jun 2009, 14:26, archived)

hahahaha, what I said is true so I'm right

the council is made up of the elected governments of the member states, I'm not sure it's fair to complain that we don't get to vote in all of the elections.
( 100% kitten better than ever, Thu 4 Jun 2009, 14:32, archived)

yes well I do vote in national elections.
only I struggle to find the enthusiasm to vote for a body of people who can't actually implement any policies I agree with (which is normally how I'd make my decision), but can only delay or revise legislation that I can't possibly predict in advance.

(what I said was true as well, btw...)
