Sure buddy. EU politicians are just absolute saints compared to the rest of the world, and there's nothing in it for them. Jesus.

If I could replace my government with the EU, I would not hesitate.

Don't be salty because we've got a working democracy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sure, it isn't perfect, but it's not all about the money here. Being a politician on that level already pays quite nicely without being bought by a company or two. And voters have a lot of power over who gets into the EU parliament, so a lot of them really do represent the common folks.
