A useful reminder I usually have to skip due to character limits or not wanting to scare off normies too much. It's not just our national governments who'd prefer to keep us ignorant about how the works (though they're the biggest culprit), journalists, lobbyists, and a lot of MEPs benefit from it as well.

It is in many peoples’ interest in Europe to keep the public ignorant of how EU law is made, from national politicians who like to convince citizens EU laws are being forced upon them to Brussels-based lobbyists and journalists who insist the EU is so complicated that you need to pay them big bucks to translate it for you. And part of the reason the EU Parliament virtually ignores the Council in its visitor center is because it is in a constant institutional power battle to big up its own importance. MEPs like it when the public mistakenly thinks the parliament’s version of a bill means it’s just become law.
