> quick guide to the differences here

They're trying so hard to not call themselves a government that they renamed everything so it doesn't sound like what a government does. Maybe they should start with fixing that...

For the record i am in the EU and I think the EU is generally a good thing. Doesn't mean the "commisioners/ministers/whatever" couldn't use a few kicks to bring them more down to earth.





Remember the attempted EU constitution? They discovered at that point that looking too much like a government made the nationalists _very_ upset, so it was recast as the Lisbon treaty (not a constitution, we promise!). A lot of the can't-believe-it's-not-a-government stuff stems from that debacle.
