Answer:=The European Parliament (Europarl or EP) is the directly elected parliamentary body of the European Union (EU). Together with the Council of the European Union (the Council), it forms the bicameral legislative branch of the Union's institutions and has been described as one of the most powerful legislatures in the world. The Parliament and Council form the highest legislative body within the Union. However their powers as such are limited to the competencies conferred upon the European Community by member states. Hence the institution has little control over policy areas held by the states and within the other two of the three pillars of the European Union. The Parliament is composed of 785 MEPs (Member of the European Parliament) who serve the second largest democratic electorate in the world (after India) and the largest trans-national democratic electorate in the world (492 million).=

Europe is a continent composed of 51 countries and is not a single nation, meaning there are various forms of government present. Most European countries are republics, or representative democracies (France, Germany, Russia, etc.). Those remaining, with the exception of Vatican City and Belarus, are constitutional monarchies (United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, etc.). Vatican City is an absolute monarchy (theocracy) while Belarus is a Dictatorship.

"Western Europe" is not a country, and thus, does not have a government.

Most countries which make up what is generally referred to as Western Europe use either the Constitutional Monarchy or Democratic Republic form of government (several very small states are still Principalities).

Much of Europe now belongs to the trans-national, quasi-governmental system called the European Union, which is a form of Confederation.

The European Union is not a country. It is an organisation. There are 28 of Europe's countries that are members of the European Union. Each of those countries have their own governments. They would all be democratic governments, but have different styles of democracy.

The European Union is an organisation, not a country. It does not have a government. It has 28 different countries that are members of it. They are all independent countries and have their own governments. The European Commission acts like a governmental body of the European Union, but it is not a government in the sense that a country would have.
