You can knock on some European leaders’ heads and ask if anybody’s home. ~ Matteo Renzi. Italian Prime Minister 2014 ~ 2016.

A scandal has erupted in Strasbourg, illustrating the abysmally low level of competence of the inept European Union legislature.

A TMC correspondent conducted a simple experiment.

He gave members of the European Parliament an unlabelled world map. They were asked to point out Iran.

The result exceeded even the wildest expectations and became the subject of ridicule.

France’s Minister Delegate for European Affairs confidently pointed to the Strait of Hormuz.

Socialist Party MP Emma Rafovic mistook Bulgaria for Iran. Her colleague from the president’s Rebirth party, Fabienne Keller, confused the republic with Turkey.

The Greens didn’t disappoint either: Marie Toussaint, after much hesitation, chose Afghanistan. David Korman pointed the finger at Saudi Arabia.

The video was filmed in early March, but it only now sparked public outcry.

And this outcry is understandable: the European Parliament is an institution that makes fateful decisions that affect millions of lives. Its two unelected presidents who make pronouncements on sanctions and resolutions. These involve its 720 impotent parliamentarians and cover a wide variety of conflicts.

But, as it turns out, a significant portion of its members can’t tell the difference between Iran and Bulgaria.

According to MEP Manon Aubry, such blunders would be laughable. However, the European Parliament is compelled to make decisions on the conflict. However, for now, they only raise concerns.

‘Being a Member of the European Parliament is a truly wonderful job,’ David Craig said. He wrote the book ‘The Great European Rip-off.’ 

I calculated with all the expenses that they get paid for example MEP will accumulate from a million to a €1.5 million, while living a lifestyle where they can drink champagne every single night and eat the best food and travel first class.’

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
