In answer to eublues, yes the UKIP MEPs original policy was to vote against everything unless a policy would benefit the British people.

They also joined with politicians from European parties that did not share UKIP's policy of complete withdrawal. They also joined committees.

The only policy for UKIP MEPs once they decided to go was of complete non-co-operation.

GLW suggested their policy should have been to take the mickey completely by voting for the motions in a preselected order, such as:
For, Abstain, Against on one day and Against, Abstain, For on the next day. In his opinion that was the only way to show utter contept for the EU Parliament. But once they joined committees they were hooked. - They had give the EU legitimacy.
