National and E U election dates

Despite what the E U really wanted, the British Parliament has voted not to give criminals in prison the right to vote.

This flies in the face of the faceless, unelected E U mandarins who initiate the E U policies. At long last some common sense concerning the diktates of the E U has come from both sides of the House of Commons.

The Members of Parliament of all countries, not only in Great Britain, are elected to defend the interests of their country. When the E U wants to impose unacceptable principles, they should and must be opposed. The principle of democracy must be upheld by the E U with the help of the leaders of each country in the E U. Alas, this is not possible at present !!!

The basic problem with this assertion is that the dates of E U Elections do not coincide with the dates of National Elections. Why ? Has no one ever considered the importance, which the impact of this aberration, has had, and will continue to have, on european politics ?

The solution to this problem is above all, common sense. When a General Election is held in a country, it should at the same time elect its MEPs (Members of the European Parliament)

MEPs would then certainly become much more sensitive to the changing feelings of the electors in their own country. This would also, without any doubt, help their national leader to intervene more efficiently and in a timely manner, in the affairs of the E U.

In fact, when things go wrong in the E U, it is not really the MEP who suffers !!! It is the Prime Minister !!! Is this right ? Should the E U not recognise this and change its rules on when the election of MEP's should take place ?
