Ken, I'm fighting a losing battle here. It is so blatantly not the same I'm genuinely astonished that you can't see the difference. So you voted for Afzal Khan representing labour as MEP.

When you voted for him, what EU policies was he promising to implement if elected as the MEP in the EU parliament and under which party in the EU were those policies going to be Implemented?

I suspect the answer is you had no idea because those laws are conceived by the EU commission behind closed doors and then passed to those MEPs to be approved, effectively waved through.


How can people not know that this is how it works - only the commission can 'initiate' and then the MEPs essentially 'endorse' - with much lobbying done beforehand to ensure smooth passage.

What level of control is that for the UK citizens?

I hope that if remain wins we can draw a line in the sand and move on and crack on with running the country. The referendum has been a massive distraction and focus point and if we allow post-result squabbling to dominate we are in danger of having wasted a full parliamentary term, especially if a Tory leadership contest follows in the wake of the result.

It may have cost him the last election but one of the things I agreed with Ed Milliband on was than an in/out EU referendum was not a priority for the country.

It will have to be run as best it can for the following Tory term. But at the end of that it will be seismic, absolutely seismic.
