They should also only take expenses for travel and accommodation. I don't really see why they would need secretaries in a parliament we don't recognise, but I don't know much about the Euro Parliament so I could be wrong on secretaries.

What does everyone else think?
Well this is rather what i've been saying for some time now :roll:

However they can NOT make long speeches as you should know, but I agree they should try and jam up the works and cause as much havoc as they can. Nothing illegal but a pain in the **** yes.

Yes of course they should look at their expenses and try and expose the corruption in the system but they would find this difficult when they are playing the expenses game themselves. :evil:

So as I've been saying we need a leader backed by the NEC would wants to get the MEPs to be completely above reproach and then start attacking the Lib/Lab/Con MEPs and EU for all its worth.

Trouble is Nigel likes things as they are and when Petrina tried to clean things up she was placed in an impossible position to continue as chairman due to the lack of support from the then leader and other MEPs:evil:
They might not be allowed to make long speeches, but they can make 10 (Or is it 9 now?) speeches!
More if you count the members of the IND-DEM group.

You haven't been saying this at all, you've been saying that
A) UKIP MEPs should stay at home
B) UKIP should be abandoned.

Why don't you use the oppurtunity (now) when you have actually put a positive point across and do something. Maybe you could start a petition to Farage: he is an honest bloke and I'm sure a few hundred signatures would get a reaction from him.
