Oh yes the elected MEP’s that can do what exactly ( for their substantial pay and benefits)?
Have an opinion on legislation brought to them by an unelected body. That is all.
They can’t propose change, the can’t bring about change. If they have a issue in which they want make a better life for their constituents, they can’t propose it and bring it to the Parliament themselves. They have to lobby the unelected commission to do something about it. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. If they don’t why do they care? They can’t Be voted out by the constituents.
MEPs are vassal puppets, in place to give the illusion of democracy. Any intelligent person can see this.
