Proceeding contribution from Bob Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 4 March 2016. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Parliament Elections Bill.
European Parliament Elections Bill
My concern is that the real electorate of MEPs are the members of their party. People spend their time canvassing at party meetings, trying to garner support so that their party will put them one or two places up the list or at the top of it. That is a clear lack of democracy for the people of this country.
