I like to think. Inspired by solutions. Results-driven. Ideas sometimes unpopular. Somewhat autistic.

      by working with people in the House and Commission. My exact point in the beginning.

      "Parliament, acting by a majority of its members, may request the Commission to submit any appropriative legislation proposal."

      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.

          Bills receive many amendments. MEPs are rendered impotent if each amendment requires jumping through all those hoops.

          amendments in the European Parliament do not need to go through the same system as proposing laws.
