Do you actually know any MEP? The younger generations are less stupid than you might think.

Politics is a slow game, the people who grew up with Windows 95 are only now starting to get elected.

In the current legislature, there is one former software programmer MEP and a Linus's uncle, who is not a programmer but knows a bit about software.

There's also Julia Reda, but she is really just a filesharer and a politician.

Small correction: Finnish MEP Nils Torvalds is actually Linus’s dad.

I know Elly Schlein is switched on, although she works mostly on non-IT topics. I'm sure there are many others.
