best thing is people supposedly vote people to be accountable and not to waste EU resources...
A list of the euroskeptic parties in Europe.

I would add Beppe Grillo to the above list.
I think the main problem is that people don't vote in these elections or they just don't take them seriously enough and that's why we have these aberrant results.
Look at UKIP... 3.1% in national parliament (if odykas is not making up statistics :p) and 26.8% in the european parliament. It looks like the british are thinking... we don't want these idiots in our parliament but let them f*** around at Brussels... or something along those lines. Of course the most annoying thing is that then they go on and bitch and moan about the EU. The question is, are they really expecting UKIP to do any meaningful work in the european parliament? It seems they do their best to sabotage the UE and then complain the UE doesn't work.
Now, I only used the british as an example. Most of the countries in the UE 'behave' the same way.
I live in Romania and my POV is that this country doesn't belong to the UE... just because it's not up to its standards... and the worst part we're really working half-assed to get there. There's just no will here to achieve anything. So when I see the result for the european elections in this country and all the buffoons we are sending to the european parliament I am really ashamed. Whenever I cross the borders of the UE I feel like telling every people I meet I am sorry... but then I remember they all do the same thing.
The european elections are some sort of political eurovision
No offence but Mircea Diaconu is not a buffoon but an excelent comedy actor. :pQuote:

lol. Even on this poll we're the last. :laugh:
I'd love to see the definition of populist and make sure it's not something used to deliberately marginalize anybody not belonging to the current political establishment.
the "caste", as the indignant bolivarian revolutionaries in Spain ("We can") call them :andrea:Quote:
