My law class visited the European Parliament on Thursday of last week. We were given a presentation by a representative from Malta. We watched a short video and saw a powerpoint presentation. It was really interesting. There are 23 official languages for the Parliament so it is kind of mind boggling to think of how they have to function together. We learned about how they vote through legislation and how the different countries work together as the EU. It was kind of weird to think about since their countries are functioning similar to our states back home. It's like a similar system but from different perspectives.
