I'm not missing that fact at all. There seems to be a pattern emerging with you Pete, where you completely misinterpret or ignore the point then answer in robust terms a different argument entirely of your own creation.

And I disagree that the UK cannot affect the makeup of European Parliament or it's officials, it's a soundbyte statement. There are European Elections and motions that can be made before EU parliament which the UK have previously made and had accepted. Without wanting to be pedantic, you can also, as we are doing, leave; which will affect it greatly.

Can you explain how the U.K. can affect the EU elections. Even if all of us vote in a single way, we will simply be outvoted, but please explain......

The country has been damaged enormously by this shambles Pete. I don't think there's much cause for celebration even if Article 50 is revoked (as I would like). We haven't embarrassed ourselves on the international stage like this since Suez.



Well, firstly, we change in the sense of the duopoly that has dominated British politics for over a century. You're an experienced private sector man Pete, a two entity market aint much of a market, is it? Secondly, neither yours or my vote makes a blind bit of difference to any election result any more than you buying an iPhone influences Apple strategy.

My vote does make a difference. it may only affect 1 MP but as we have seen this week, one vote makes all the difference.....

I didn't say the UK could affect EU elections...
(although we do through electing MEPs)

Are you actually asking how we could affect European Parliament?
 
I think we are seeing the end of the current Tory party. The EU MEP elections will purely be a labour/UKIP affair as no tories will bother to campaign or even vote. Theresa May has done so much damage to this country that I’m not sure we will recover. Anyway, enjoy the next Corbyn Government and our inexorable move to a Marxist State.....

The U.K. has no effect other than a veto. We will no longer have a veto, but will be tied into their decisions.......
