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

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.

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.

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...)

I don't know what is going on here,
this is most peculiar technique.
