The amendment allocates 18 extra MEPs to 12 countries, including one extra MEP for the UK . It will require approval throughout the EU.


What's the benefit of extra MEPs? :?

And I wouldn't be surprised if our new coalition had members from both parties taking both sides of this argument :oops:

For the MEP in question? More receipt free expenses.

If we did have a referendum I would vote for it. Though the press will probably get behind an anti EU campaign.
