What? You mean they actually have to work at getting votes? You should send them to England, Where they can toady their way into the EU Parliament. Nobody there is voted in. You just have to implement ALL EU directives, to the detrement of the people you're supposed to represent, & they'll give you a job for life, with salaries beyond your wildest dreams. :curse:
Sounds a lot like our Senate.................an old guys club that does nothing worthwhile except suck up vast amounts of money. It is an appointed position and no one really cares to show up, just collect the cash. A short time ago there was a big hubbub over a Senate member Living in Florida and rarely making it back to Canada to do his well paid "JOB". Health reasons were cited for his lack of performance. Even if he had retired from the Senate his pensions and built-in perks would have been astounding.
