Recent polls suggest that, across Europe, about 40% of the population still trust the European Parliament, whereas only 25% trust their national parliaments. Moreover, the European Parliament retains much higher trust than the US Congress, which has approval ratings that are now below 10%.
最近民调表明，在整个欧洲，大约40%的人仍信任欧洲议会，而只有25%的人信任本国议会。此外，欧洲议会的信任度也仍然高于美国国会，后者的通过率如今低于10%。考虑到大西洋两岸的代议机构都在丧失信任度，欧洲议会还算相对更优。
