[quote]A Ukip MEP has admitted one of the only reasons he turns up in Brussels is to claim £200,000 in allowances.
Trevor Colman has not done anything in the European Parliament in the last year, and has only taken part in half of votes since 2009.
The South West MEP insisted he could not see the point in making speeches in the Parliament, and instead claimed the taxpayers’ money to fund an anti-EU website. All MEPs receive a salary of £78,000 but must ‘clock in’ to the Parliament building in order to receive various allowances. However, Mr Colman has only made speeches or asked questions just 19 times, well behind the average of the five other MEPs in the South West. Asked whether allowances were a factor influencing his decision, Mr Colman: ‘I wouldn’t say getting the allowances is one of the main motivations, I’m trying to be fair about it, it is a factor, of course it is.

Why am I not surprised?
Our UKIP counterpart had the same plan.
Then the first paycheck rolled in and they couldn't stop lining their pockets.
Why wouldn't he? He's anti-EU. He's doing exactly what anybody would expect.
And then you people complain you are not represented enough within the EU.
[B]THIS[/B] man represents you within EU. [B]THIS[/B] is [B]YOUR[/B] elected voice within EU. HE could be the one to shout and secret Nazi Germans and valiantly stop their evil plan of taking over the Europe through means of the evil European Union. This is what you got yourself, instead.

The EU parliament is one big joke.[/QUOTE]
It's only a joke because people elect people who don't think they have to take it seriously into it. It's like electing a hobo into your own parliament.
Finally euro money is put to something more useful than regulation from an a central government most don't want.
