The EU is much much more than just a regulator of businesses.
That's the main thing the parliament does.
And everything you could do in the MEU you can do in the MHoC now.

No. The MEU would operate quite differently and there would be many different topics that would be discussed here.

You are saying that but you can't give examples...

In terms of operating, it wouldn't really be that different would it... It's still debating things, the topics I would agree though are slightly different. However, if the sole reason of having the MEU is just because it's different topics, I'd rather just have a sub-forum in the MHoC, where people can send a topic/debate title to the Speaker, and he posts it there... Then there could be a redirect in the International D&CA forum to it... Then we'd still have that debate, as well as redirecting more people to the MHoC (win win), and then if there's enough activity there, I'd then consider relooking at the MEU.

Yes, but the MHoC mainly deals with UK issues whereas the MEU will deal with international issues. It would be quite confusing if we combined the two.

The MHoC debates UK legislation. The MEU will debate European issues, some of which do not involve the UK at all.

If it's modeling the EU parliament then it wouldn't be different topics at all.
It'd only be different if it's modeling the council but as they are appointed you instantly loose a lot of realism

I don't think so, especially with a sub-forum description... In any case, discussing the different topics is still possible within the International sub-forum. the MEU would operate similar enough to the MHoC that if it's the operations side of things, like voting on Bills etc, that you might as well just use the MHoC for that, and then just debate normally in International forum.

Yeh, I s'pose, but the notion is there isn't it... Anyway, I'm still against the MEU. I feel wrong agreeing with you

Look at the legislative powers of the EU.

There would be different topics - see my previous post.
So are you saying that the proportional representation and parties appointing their MPs in the MHoC is what it is like in real life? There are many other ways as to how the MHoC is different from real life. For all these things, there has to be a degree of separation from the real world for both practical and enjoyment reasons.

Yes but to have an elected council is weird. And if thats the way you want to go you'll see this go down the same way the MUN did

It's not!!
Hey everyone,
I hope you're having a nice afternoon!
I know that there are a few people very passionate about continuing the MEU so I think it is worthwhile treating this poll as a 'Who would still like to be involved in the MEU' survey and if there is only 2/3 people interested we can close it.
I do think if there are still a few people up for it and it's a close vote that it's worth keeping and removing those who aren't interested from the quote list so they don't have to be involved anymore and then it's a win win and keeps everyone happy
