    Just because someone turns up every day doesn't make them the hardest working. It only means they have the best attendance record.
    I didn’t say it did. Other measures include attendance on committees, legislation amendment proposals, motions tabled, etc.

    (There is a minimum attendance requirement in order to be able to claim expenses. Guess who turns up only for the minimum required?)

    You’re asking the right questions and challenging the Lib Dems on their work ethic which is great; now apply that to the people that you are actually voting for.

      Again not quite true. From the Independent article on which MEPs offer best value for money

      European Parliament Election 2014: MEPs who offer best value for money face defeat | The Independent


      "Other aspects of an MEP's workload, such as participation in committees and delegations, and meetings with constituents, were not taken into account because they are difficult or impossible to quantify."

      And please tell me Who exactly am I voting for in the up coming European parliament elections? You answer could save me a lot of time contemplating my democratic right.

        Not quite true only for the specific article you've chosen.

        But if you want to choose a specific article, perhaps you should read it?

        In contrast the Liberal Democrats cost a little more – but tended to work a lot harder.
        As to who you vote for, I really don't care. If it's for the party that supports an IRA sympathiser, good luck justifying that to yourself. Would that make you "content"?

          Do you believe that the sample population is sufficient and of the correct demographic mix that extrapolating would reflect the proportion of the views of the total active CUK population?
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            Dig deep enough and you will find the skeleton in everyone's cupboard. I may or may not vote for who ever is on the ballot paper and I will be content that I have exercised my democratic right and therefore have a clear conscience.

              You are right. The intelligence of the UK population far exceeds that demonstrated on the CUK forums.

                    Hahahahahahaha, **** me, hypocrisy at it’s finest. Can’t even deny that you would vote for a party that supports her.

                    Glad to see your true colours, lol!

                      Please show me the hypocrisy?

                      To not deny something does not make it fact.

                      I believe I started with "I may or may not vote..."

                      Keep going you're looking more foolish by the post
