the EU parliament is very corrupt at the personal level
Now that's quite a sweeping statement. But even so, let's be sensible. Petty corruption, fiddling of expenses etc occurs in every individual member state of the EU at the domestic level, though it's far more prevalent in some than others. Therefore it stands to reason that it will occur in the European Parliament. I'm sure it happens in the USA as well.
I don't know of anyone who knows anything about how the internet works who supported articles 11 or 13...
One of the things that struck me about government when I was still a teenager is how ill-fitted for their positions many Ministers are. For example, the Minster for Foreign Affairs might be a former primary school teacher, the Minister for Health might be a former accountant. They basically rely on teams of civil servants to 'advise' them. That's how government works. We just have to get on with it.
You really do seem to have a B in your bonnet about the EU Maf. I'd still rather live in an EU member state, whatever its shortcomings, than in America. If Poland wasn't a member of the EU, just what do you think it would look like by now? Just ponder it for a minute.
Really ponder it. Without the restrictions of EU membership reigning them in, and a few civilized norms being imposed on them by external forces, what kind of a dog's breakfast would the various political parties have made of the place by now?
