Could someone please advise what on earth these people (keeping their seats warm in the European Parliament) are actually doing for the betterment of their constituents??
I have the uncomfortable suspicion that the majority are not worth feeding.
Yes Big frank, it’s a statist institution. Europe has a strong penchant for top down rule. We have to remember that it was only a few decades ago, in the 40’s, in a post WWII Europe, that political thinkers and politicians were seriously asking if democracy (real representative government) can actually take hold in Europe.

IMHO the EU just like the UN is a body only useful to the few while screwing the masses.
