Isn't this true for most countries anyway? The gov ministers are the ones who tend to create articles to be voted, while the MPs only vote on them.
I'd like to see that reversed: let parliament make the laws (that's what it's supposed to do, isn't it?) while government merely executes it. Power has become too centralised in the hands of the executive branches.
Most democratic countries allow ordinary elected representatives to propose laws, I think. It's mostly a question of whether they can get enough votes, which is easier if the current government supports them. The fact that the EU-level elected representatives have no power to make new laws whatsoever is quite unusual.
I think you mean oligarchy.
