The number of constituents represented by each of the 650 mps in our system is much more consistent than EU. Milton Keyes is I believe largest with about 92000. Smallest around 56000(Woking???). Generally they are around 75,000 in England and 70,000ish in Scotland. Obviously to achieve this the...

That sounds more Corbyn than Boris.

You, d have thought that the case but it obviously isnt. The know it alls have failed to explain either the reasoning or the methodology of the disparity. Spanish MEP's representing 800k plus and Cypriot ones sub 200k does not seem terribly democratic. But hey, there you go. What has democracy...

No my point was nothing of the kind, my point was a poor turn out in smaller countries exaggerates what is already a big discrepancy in numeric representation accross the EU. Its probably too mathematical for you to understand Danidl.

Get your point Flecc but your maths is flawed. 4.28 million in a total of 513 million represents 0.0083( 0.83%) Since there are 751 MEPs there should be 6.2 (0.83% of 751)Croatian MEPs. Agreed it must be an integar.. So 6 full time. 7 one week in 5?. Agreed this would be for equal numeric...

It was a mistake OG. You missed an open goal and struck corner flag. When the ball hits your head and your stood in row Z. Its Zamora. Well OG actually, but that doesnt rhyme.

And, your point? Agreed, 50 is an excellent poster. As opposed to yourself, who isnt.

That is completely senseless OG. Think you missed out a "don't" somewhere. You are saying you do read my posts and you understand them. I think. Thanks.

Good post Woosh. How are the actual numbers arrived at tho. For example each Spanish MEP represents 875,000. Whereas each Cypriot one represents only 127,000. First off all how is that decided? Who decides and why the massive disparity? Surely its not fair??? And those figures fail to take into...

That has nothing to do with point I made re unbalanced representation before turn out is even considered. (If e tire Croatian population voted their MEP's would still have higher voting power than number of people represented. On pure numbers alone Croatia should have 7 MEPs. They have 11. It...

He must like you, mine was a qualified, probable, I might sort of apology. The sort wife gives you when she, s damaged car but it was your fault anyway.. On the MEPs... Seems an odd basis to start from when by population Croatia represents 0.83% of EU but has 1.46% of MEPs. That is relatively a...

Why should we start reading your posts. You never read ours. I hope your apology was better than one I got from you. Your probable one.

Wether we do leave or not the voting system within EU needs sorting. Yes, accepted any large democracy is going to have anomolies within its election of representatives but there are some within EU which are plain wrong. The population of EU (including us is around 513 million. It has 751 MEPs...

50 said in his first preamble he thought it was complete BS.. Read the posts OG.

Can we have a source please 50?

None of those are insults OG. If you spout communist dictate being called a communist is to be expected. How is reclaiming land, property and capital into state ownership anything but communism? Communism is a perfectly acceptable method of government for some. Why is it an insult? Especially so...

Insulting again OG. Give it a rest. Any labour suppprter proposing the banning of private education has gone over line of being labour and into that of communism. Making it superfluous with correct structures, funding and management would be a labour policy. Banning it, requisitioning...

mmm... I know where you are coming from but private isnt answer. State should have power to remove those not following basic rules and funding to help those that do. I had a lot to do with education in a secure unit for young offenders. (I ran it for a few years) Their fees were dearer than...

Are you a governer at one 50?? Agreed BTW.

Trouble is OG banning private schools will simply put loads of extra burden on state. Its fine having good ideals and in an ideal society with good funding for state education we would not need a private system. We dont live in an ideal society. We cant and certainly wont put the cash needed...
