Ah. That would be the system that didn't get you the result you wanted
then?

Now now, don't be soppy. I mean the system where you can't get rid of
the MEPs who are elected, if they are at or near the top of their list
(unless their vote collapses, but that'd never happen, now would it).
These days, MEPs don't have a constituency they have to answer to, so
no actual need to do any work on behalf of constituents.

Oh, and guess what. No by-elections either. If an MEP resigns or dies
etc, the next one on their party list gets the nod. As little as
possible of this boring consulting the electorate nonsense, you see.

Well that's why UKIP want out of the EU isn't it?


Anyway MEPS are as much use at changing anything the EU does as a
chocolate teapot.

Only use for an MEP is to blow the gaff on the EU corruption and use the
money to get us out.
