After this election, I hope that Turkey does not stand a chance to become a member of the EU /which would mean 15 mill. unskilled Muslims rushing into Europe and living off social benefits). I voted for the Christian Democrats. Due to the colation government in Germany, they have to make concessions to the Socialists. I wish they would show more profile.

The EU Commission works with the Council of Ministers like an unaccountable Executive. The EU "Toy Parliament" cannot block the Executive, cannot remove the Executive, cannot initiate legislation, is elected on 34% turnout with a party list where parties choose candidates not voters. The national parliaments are by-passed by EU Regulations, the European Court of Justice attempts to override national judicial systems; all national regulators are subsumed under EU Federal control. It is illegal in England to sell a house without Government-approved Information Pack - penalty $400/day thanks to EU Regulation based on Kyoto Treaty.

"The Law does not go where enforcement cannot reach". IIRC it was Blackstone that first said that, or at least put it to paper. I suspect some Roman beat him to it, the concept behind that statement being very Roman. Power belongs to those who enforce the laws, NOT those that pass those laws. This is a key point in the difference between left and right. The Left never seems to figure out that passing a law means very little unless that law is enforced. That makes the EU Parliament toothless, just as the UN is. Toothless dogs are only useful if taught to fetch. The question is "Who is the EUP ( European Union Parliament, pronounced YUP, like a bug just flew down your throat and your trying to cough it back up) fetching for?" “80% of our laws that prevail in our coutries are voted in EU parliaments”.

Piffle. The EP is a powerless talking-shop like the UN General Assembly; all power resides in the completely unelected and unaccountable European Commission. “I really can’t see why Lisbon would turn the EU into a “bureaucratic superstate”, or why would you talk about European “democracy”, when you aknowledge that the treaty is going to give even more power to the EU parliament, elected directly by the people.”

Our media has been fixated with the expenses scandal and reported no arguments to vote for or against. That scandal, which actually affects all parties, has been spun somewhat by the Telegraph to focus on the governing party (the first few days of it when everyone was talking notice was only about Labour MPs). That led to a collapse in Labour's core vote as many didn't bother to vote and therefore made the vote for right-wing parties look better than it would have.

The European Parliament has about as much political power as my Aunt's pet poodle. About because that poodle has a nasty bite if aroused. That puts it quite a bit above the European Parliament, which is as toothless an institution as man has ever created. Now if it only meant something.
