Don’t worry, the powers of the pretend parliament are somewhat limited and as there are no pan-European parties they rarely produce a coherent policy about anything. The European Commission is where all the serious directives are born, and it is a reassuringly unelected institution that is quite impossible for any voter anywhere in Europe to dismiss from office. You may be reassured that if we do have to go to the polls on 23 May that your vote will have token value for approximately 72 hours, after which we can all forget our new MEPs exist, as per the norm.
