Member of the European Parliament.

Just don't ask me what other branches and divisions the EU government has 😅 I'm hilariously badly informed on how the system actually works, forgot all my civics lessons from 20+ years ago
Ah thank you for helping this uncultured American understand.
You're welcome. And hey, I'm the one who should be feeling uncultured: I seriously can't remember how the EU works beyond some very rudimentary basics (there's a Parliament and a Commission, and they do, uh… stuff) and I'm Finnish. We've been in the EU for almost 30 years and I supposedly learned this shit in middle school when we joined
To be fair, no one actually knows how the EU works.
