Never mind, I thought I read something else.
My mind was a tad bit fuzzy old bean!


Can anyone explain this one to me

The members of the European Parliament shall be elected for a term of five years by direct universal suffrage in a free and secret ballot.

Sure if you actually suffer as a master of the Universe (Rome being the universe) you can be elected in secret by the other masters to function in this regard.

seems simple enough to me!

Edit to add: Being a Master of the Universe (Rome) is a responsibility that causes you to suffer a burden.

You do not have to pay a fee or tax to vote or take on this additional responsibility.

The EU is the Superpower of the world now? Can't say I am overly concerned about it. I mean, have the member states gone more than 60 years without dragging the rest of the world into a war over petty power struggles yet?

But then again, Alabama and Kentucky tend to be the butt of our jokes; so I suppose that is like France and Belgium.

Means a normal election
Directly elected by the voting population of the European Union.
