My local MEP is one of 751, my local MP is one of 650 So mathematically local representation is better if we leave.

- notahacker 9y agoThe probability of at least one of your region's MEPs being from a party you voted for is a fair bit higher though...
- mike-cardwell 9y ago"Representation" isn't just about numbers though. 90% of your MEPs don't even have English as their first language. I don't know what proportion of them have even been to the UK. You don't get representation from these people. They're too busy representing their home countries. Which of course, is how these things work. The larger the state, the more diluted your representation becomes at the center. Which is why you need to make sure to not centralise too much power.
