As for the European dimension: the idea of turning the Committee of the Regions into a legislative chamber would be a burden, rather than a boon. EU decision-making is already needlessly complex, and should indeed be simplified by means like removing unanimity voting in the Council. Whatever popular legitimacy the EU gains by sending another chamberful of full-time legislators to Brussels, it will lose when the EU becomes even more unable to legislate rapidly.
