why are/were members of organisations such as the UK Independence Party (UKIP), Reform UK etc., so desperate to be members of the European Parliament, (MEPs), if they want nothing to do with Europe?…
In: Other
They have strong views on Europe and the polices of the European Parliament, why not join it? While there they could stop polices they disagreed with from being passed.
They were very successful in getting elected because people with very strong views on Europe were often people with strong negative views, and they were some of the few who actually voted in European elections.
Plus, it’s a well paid job which requires no qualifications. Lot’s of money and privilege to object to things you don’t like, thats a good gig.
