The European Parliament is the worlds largest gravy train....it even saw fit to have 2 parliaments (Brussels and Strasbourg) for MEPs to shuttle between, a phenomenal waste of European tax payers money not to mention time. Whilst the EU does have some merits, the immense bureaucracy and enormous administrative costs/waste negates most of the benefits There is a definite case for trimming back their powers (but of course it won't happen due to too many self-interest groups) |
