Now I feel old ... bottle tops

Not when they are designed right with variable jaw shape

That's obvious

But can't change anything.

Nope, can't do that

Can only rubber stamp laws presented to it.

Nope, none.

Bullshit the EU parliament doesnt even have that.

Yes it does. Singapore is mostly chinese and milk is hard to get there.

That's radically overstated most obviously with India etc

ditto

Can't see that given that milk would have been much harder to produce for them in that situation.

Don't buy that either given that scandinavians have always been into youhurts and cheese and the chinese and japanese never have been.

Even sillier given that its the lack of that enzyme that determines that.

Only in Southern China and nearby countries. In Northern parts cattle have been farmed and milk products used for millenia and so no intolerance.

The list system was only used in the UK and was meant to bypass teh requirement of the EU for proportional representation. We could have used a more proportional system but didn't. teh STV sytem is much better but the politicians of the major parties sdon't like it as it would moderate their power.

Other than the fact that 'Lords' (apart from those with a historic 'right') are appointed by political favour, just like EU commissioners are (like the Kinnock mafia). When were the British electorate given any say ?.

None of them 'stood for their position'.

... for the EU parliament.

Which in some ways is a good thing. They cannot initiate new laws and the Commons can override them, but they can look at new legislation and point out problems and suggest solutions, without being driven by party politics or worries over being voted out at the next election. That makes them a useful second chamber, without taking away the power of the Commons.

And the reality is that has never changed anything that matters for centurys and is just another expensive talk fest that changes nothing that matters.
