The kicker is that in any member state that’d be politics trying to bury something in procedure, while on the European level it’s the only way to get anything done. Leave out a step and the thing just fizzles because noone even knows about it.
The EU has been designed so that no one in any position can abuse his (or her) powers or at least make it extremely difficult to do so, with an added layer of mistrust between the states requiring even more checks and balances so it can lead to some ridiculously complicated processes since not much can be done without a majority consensus.
Deciding to leave twitter or not will lead to a barrage of comments from all the countries, so I’m not even surprised that even that decision has to be carefully managed.
I’m poking fun but for all it’s flaws the EU has achieved a surprising amount of things.

Yes, the EU can be slow to move on some points, but others they are the first. And they mostly get things right, because they use much time on thinking it through. And no, they’re not right every time, but I believe they are more than others.
