I've watched the #ChatControl session live, which was the first #EUParliament plenary session I've ever watched, and I have questions.

If every MEP has a digital voting device, why do some votes happen by show of hands?

For both types of votes: Why the hell is it so fast?

Why are all proposals worded so badly, with layers upon layers of negation? "Ah yes, I vote against the amendment that would remove a paragraph from a motion to discard a paragraph from an act that forbids Foo" how do you even parse this?

Or, generally speaking: Are we sure that, even if the elected MEPs are the ones we voted for, they actually submit correct votes? Not because they're secretly evil, but because the whole voting process seems so confusing and user-hostile.

I really need to learn more about it all works
