European Parliament Is Wasting Money
Mood:  irritated
Now Playing: the Office
Topic: Politics
..Now there is a surprising headline.. ;)

As is commonly known within the European Parliament, it has become common practice to move the entire Parliament, all it's people, and a nearly complete office inventory from Brussels to Strasbourg EVERY MONTH for a couple of days.

The bill for this nomadic form of governing is roughly estimated to be about 200 million euro's per year, to be paid for by, ultimately, us taxpayers.

Several Euro Parliament members of different parties have now taken the initiative to end ths ridiculous waste of money; and for this they need 1 million people to sign their petition in order to put this topic on the agenda of the European Commission.

Within 2 days almost 25,000 autographs have been received, but this number should be 1 million, so please support this campaign by surfing to www.oneseat.eu, and sign the petition against this outrageous waste of money!
