The EP is actually quite good at producing the right decisions, especially when the public remember that it exists and lobby them over this issue. Unfortunately it's the weakest of the legislating institutions (Parliament/Commission/Council).
Yes. I'd like to have EU institutions which look more like "normal" democratic systems, and greater power for the EU parliament. But it's still a lot better since the Lisbon treaty.
