    Yes Sid, you`re correct. Proportional Representation is used for the European Elections. I don`t think that the EU are particularily bothered as to how we appoint our MEP`s because when they get over to Brussels they don`t have much say in things anyway. It`s an illusion that they "represent" us as their powers are actually fairly limited.

    In a nutshell, it`s the unelected and unaccountable commissioners together with other EU bureaucrats that pull the strings. The main function of MEP`s is to simply nod through the massive amount of directives that are churned out on a regular basis. Much of the time, because of the sheer volume, they don`t even appreciate what they`re voting through anyway.

    Sorry to drone on!
