I totally agree that in category terms, Westminster is “elections that matter” and Strasbourg is ... well, not. Kind of surprised to see you admitting it though.
However, there isn’t going to be a Westminster general election until 2022 unless the Tories think they can win one and Labour agrees to dissolve Parliament. There is however going to be a Strasbourg election in May, which is as close as we are going to get to a second referendum on Brexit. Given everything that has happened in our politics this year, I’d say these Euro-elections warrant a one-off, guest appearance in the “elections that matter” category ...
