Worst EU Lobbying Awards
Apparently, even with all the Euroscepticism which exists in Britain, we aren’t interested in the Worst EU Lobbying Awards, given out by the Corporate Europe Observatory. Anyway, a Finnish MEP won the award for worst conflict of interest, while the several lobbyists for agrofuels won the worst lobbying award, for their distortions of the truth.
I like the idea of these awards, but it’d be nice to see the positive work of MEPs highlighted as well. Almost all that is reported about the EU, as with most forms of politics, is negative. It’s no surprise that the public opinion of politics is so low.
