That isn't a good development at all. Problem is that this distance isn't realized for large interest groups. This bill is an example. It is still on the menu despite numerous lobbying attempts have been made public.

The EU shifted power from voters to larger groups with particular interests. Those groups have the resources to address people in Brussels, while voters have more or less no voice or impact.

This is a structural problem.

Ah yes, absolutely agree. You were referring to the EU as a whole, and I was specifically thinking about the parliament.
