Well Thank you for taking the time to explain what you mean. It makes more sense now.
I'm not sure how the MEP system works...but you can't really expect MEP's to take action to come out of the EU.........that is like asking Turkeys to vote for Christmas.
The EU is a vast gravy train......and the MEP's are dipping their bread in it!

As for HMG over here........I am not being apologist, but they have had a lot on their plate to deal with.......and I am pretty sure that DC and NC don't really see eye to eye on lots of things so internal wrangling take up time and energy.

Maybe they just moan and whinge because they don't know what to do to get us out of the carp(intended). Like the engineers rule 'When you don't know what to do.....walk fast and look worried'.
