I'm not, no. So Helmer needn't work with me at all. He can work with any number of his colleagues in the European parliament though.

Then how do you know things about how the EU works that Helmer, an MEP, does not know? Do you have insider knowledge of the EU?

There's this thing called governmental transparency. You too can educated yourself on how the EU works through the medium of the internet.

So you know a MEP's job better than he does. Can you cite your source?

Thanks for the generic link. Where does it say that MEPs can propose/draft/repeal legislation by working with Commissioners?

So MEPs can propose amendments subject to approval from President/Commission/etc? Where does the power really lie?
