How do you think we should hold our 73 out of the total 751 MEPs to account?
24 of the 73 elected, nearly a third, were UKIP MEP's who had campaigned on a platform of non-cooperation, how do you hold them to account?
How do you think that the 49 cooperating MEP's , or 6% of the total MEPs, can get a democratic settlement for the UK which is in our interests?
