Somewhat simplistic perhaps, but the EU has always seemed confusing for the average UK citizen. What people see on the news is all about the various nations political leaders getting to decide EU policy and direction.
Where the people we elect as MEPs are there to serve the whole of the EU and sit within groups of a similar political flavour, not solely to represent the UK. So such as hard working MEPs are forgotten, whilst the noisy and lazy such as Farage make the news.
