It only inceases after the election becuase of the exchange rate. From now on MEPS all get 7,000eu per month. At the current rate this will be a rise on the british MP wage but if the exchange rate changes we wont see the euro scpetics calling for a pay rise for MEPs.
Over recent years the exchange rate that has applied would have meant that the new pay would mean no rise for british MEPs. If we ever get to a 2-1 exchange rate, it will be a salary of 42k. |

Albeit one not including the United Kingdom. |

On Question Time tonight it said that 75% of the legislation discussed in the House of Commons was already decided in Brussels. Is this really the case?

According to the Guardian, a quarter of voters are likely to vote for someone other than the main parties in the EU elections.
All this rubbish about "oh, you have to vote for the main parties or else you will let the BNP in" is absolute crap. There may be one or two isloated cases where the BNP get in, but generally the electorate is much more intelligent than the media and MPs are giving them credit for.

Anybody got any poll results for Scotland?
"end of Brown?" Well normally yes, but this is the New (let's all go down with ship) Labour Party - anything's possible, but at 16% yes.

Thank you reluctant but heroic one.
I buy that poll, looks about right.
Anyone any idea how these results translates into seats?
Poll taken before Darling's fiddling.
Imagine the polls for Labour if they are tanked in the European elections.
Nothing makes voters shy away from you like electoral failure
(excepting : going to war for no reason; knifing a prime minister in the back and stealing his job; causing economic chaos; jobs allowed to be outsourced; fiddling your expenses...)

Can't remember if this has been posted anywhere else, but this little questionaire thing helps you consider which party you are most aligned to in the European elections.

Thanks to SNP Tactical Voting for posting it on his blog.
I plotted almost directly on top of the Green Party on the graph! Don't think they will be getting my vote though.

Cabinet rising star James Purnell quits cabinet, saying Brown should resign.
Brown is desperate to stay.
He really puts himself first and foremost.
