So you know a MEP's job better than he does. Can you cite your source?
-
just as MPs in Westminster will speak with their colleagues and gauge support before submitting a bill to the House.
MPs in Westminster may informally gauge support, but it is not a requirement to first win majority before proposing amendment.

Not a requirement, but what's the point in proposing it if you don't have majority support?
-
You propose amendments to debate it in order to win majority support. Why else would you table amendments for debate?
-
..to have it pass. Very rarely would an MP just present a bill on their own and see the House debate it then dismiss it.
-
Private Members Bills are hardly ever accepted and often rejected by government whip.
-
I was referring to amendments, not PMBs. MEPs cannot table amendments. MPs in Westminster can.
-
MEPs can actually. Go back and read the link I provided you.
-
Sorry, they technically can. Can you please compare the different bureaucratic hoops between MPs and MEPs proposing amendments?
-
More hoops for MEPs, but not unattainable by a competent MEP.
