@JuliaHB1@PickardJE How many know the EU 'Parliament' can't legislate but only 'amend' Only body called a parliament in the world like that -
But
@countryboylife@JuliaHB1 MEPs on committees are able to co-write legislation - a much greater power than MPs in London. -
@PickardJE@JuliaHB1 Not so Jim, any MEP amendments are voted on by the Commission, it's just a fig leaf. Real power lies with the Leaders.
