True.
I do think one problem we have always had is a lack of understanding on how the people we elect actually work within the EU parliament.
Politics here are pretty much a 2 party system with some fringe groups (which can be right in the middle of the political spectrum). Where the EU is run on PR lines, with groupings according to general political flavour. So trying to explain how a multi party PR elected grouping works bears no relation to the old fashioned adversarial and undemocratic system we have for Westminster.
