Joke Of The Year

From the latest edition of EU Observer, dated 22nd December.

Quote:

The 7th European Parliament elections are due to take place in June 2009.
Some 400 million Europeans will be eligible to elect 736 MEPs for the only
European institution where citizens have a direct vote.

So the EU is now an institution, well we knew that - its a madhouse whose officials are of slightly dubious mentality.....!

However whilst we may have 'a direct vote' - doesn't do us much good - does it?
