Haha well the European Union politics is understandable for outsiders, at least to an extent. They don’t just start drafting legislation – that is something done only by the executive, the European Commission, and in some very specific areas by the Council of the European Union.

The Parliament is a collection of politicians from all member states, and it is – in a sense – somewhat like your House (whereas the Council would then be prepared with the Senate). Representatives are in general more eager to work for the general European (/American) good, whereas ‘Senator’s’ unashamedly admit that they want to get the best deal for their own constituency (much like in the Council).

Luckily for EU citizens, the trend is one of consensus. They don’t fight each other like they do on Fox News ;-)

My friend from the Oyvind era once explained to me how politics in Norway worked. Multiple parties, multiple positions, opinions and distinctions, and multiple confusion. I wondered how it was possible for them to ever get anything done. In Switzerland I spoke to a few politicians in a vain effort to understand their local politics. It was useless. Forget it. It’s even more convoluted than Norway. Again, one could hardly believe that anything productive could ever be accomplished out of such a large chorus of divergent and often conflicting voices. Then, to complicate things further, you put representatives from these various orchestras together in one place, call it the European Union (that’s the quintessential oxymoron–kind of like saying Microsoft Works–my favorite oxymoron) and ask them to work together toward I don’t know…agreeing on something? and then kind of watch and hesitate to laugh.
