So he succeeded in changing the EU from the inside, did he? "Succeeded?" If so, why does he still want us out? Doesn't say much for his "success," does it? Perhaps he'd have had more "success" had he turned up for votes a bit more often. As it is, there are 746 MEPs and he has the 745th best voting record, the only person below him being a long-term sick man. Still, on €100,000 a year plus expenses, why would he worry? Just about the most egregious exploiter of that very same "gravy train" you're always whingeing about. How amusing to see you and ache defending such a man of principle!
