Wasn't there a chap in the 1930's who had a lot of popular appeal?
Yes I have read all the arguments and discussions and I agree that leaving the EU will be turmoil and the out negotiations will be messed up by our idiot polititions. But that is the point, I belive in democracy. I would sooner we struggle under our own elected politions (who we can vote out) than thrive under the EU's unelected faceless autocat elite; or worse still let Germany finaly, in their 3rd attempt, rule Europe.
It really doesn't matter who he/she is. The only thing that you can be sure of is that he/she will be claiming a lot of 'expenses'.I've just tried to find out who my MEP is. Even Google turned up blank

Mep s have no power.If you voted it won't have been by his her name it is I think by party then Mep's are picked by the partyI've just tried to find out who my MEP is. Even Google turned up blank
Sterling is strong - 1.3 euros to the £, $1.45 to the £ quite the opposite of what many claimed, although this can change.
Devaluation is good for exports anyway so not the disaster scenario the 'inners' would have us believe.
EU immigration up again - 184k last year and 3 times what the Tories promised. So no wonder there is a housing shortage, and the pressure on NHS just keeps on growing......
How will voting to stay in help?
Migration to the UK from EU countries up to 184 K in 2015.
Migration to the UK from non-EU countries up to 188 K.
The Brexit argument is that we have no control over EU migration to the UK.
But wait a moment, the UK does have control over non-EU migration.
What does that tell you?

It tells you a couple of things:-
What we don't want, and what's causing all the problems, are the hordes of un-skilled people from Eastern Europe, most of whom arrive without a job, who in their attempt to survive here, are accepting work at ridiculously low wages (which even then are far higher than they will get at home), and are putting downward pressure on low-cost and un-skilled wages, which is stopping UK citizens from getting those jobs.
...Surely those have exactly the same arguments with regard to Westminster.
It tells you a couple of things:-
1./ It tells you that we need economic migrants to work in our schools, hospitals, railways, roads, etc.
2./ It tells you that a lot of students from outside the EU rate the UK education system, and are paying a lot to study here (which is helping to find our Universities)
3./ It is telling you that despite the points-based system and requirements for entry that the non-EU migrants have to comply with, there are enough wanting to come to the UK and contribute WITH the qualifications, skills, and financial backing that we require.

(and, hang on, all of us middle classes who benefit from cheap cleaners, school assistants, cheap food etc).
