Also, doing a cursory check, I don't see any similar restrictions on the National Assembly in France, the Bundestag in Germany, or Parliament in England. Am I missing something, or..?

We aren't a member of NATO, Lithuania is only switching to western equipment because of its membership in NATO--it'd be a waste of money for us.

In fairness, British MPs and MEPs are usually more into fraudulently claiming expenses than running large companies.

This nation should not be taken to be representative of my real-life views, nor should any of the nonsense I posted on here as a teenager.
