In the great scheme of things, do you think the number of MEP's the UK has, can really influence the vast political beast that the EU has become????????

I don't think they can and I think it is down to the futility of the situation(coupled with a lack of will), that and the fact that making waves in Brussels would not endear them to the organisation....and before y ou tell me that they aren't there to be popular.......well, I guess I know that, but they don't want to be the most unpopular boy in the schoolyard.
