I agree with Arne and disagree with Markus. The worst possible way to deal with politicians is to not talk to them.
It might be unpopular to say, but in my experience most politicians are smart, and genuinely want to do the right thing, but they're frequently misinformed because they're only exposed to lobbyists who know exactly how to work the system, and the lobbyists win if there is no voice to oppose them. People don't enter politics to get rich, not in the EU anyway. Arne, it would be really great if you could go, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
