Without looking it up, how many of you know who your Members of European Parliament are?

Furthermore, how many of you even recognise the names when you do see a list? UK MEPs for the North West

They are people who take advantage of all the perks of the job like our mp's!
Expenses etc..
I'm sure they do a great job though!

Re: Without looking it up...
I have heard of Gary Titley and Den Dover.

They are the only two that stuck in my mind because their names make me laugh.

Den Dover puts me in mind of Ben Dover and the other fella's name is Titley which I think is funny.....omg I'm such a child sometimes!

Well, as you would expect, I know one or two, Sir Robert and Dulsy Atkins are personal friends, as are David and Caroline Sumberg and have met Den Dovor on quite a few occasions

Only name that was familiar was Gary Titley but to be honest, I had to look at the list first.

The last European elections were three or four years ago - they may be due again next year.

I thought the local MEP was Michael Hindley 'til I looked at the list.
