Farage didn't go to vote on the EU fishing quotas. There is absolutely no point - the member states are hugely in favour of handing out our fishing stocks to everyone else.
There is actually no point in voting on anything in the EU Parliament anyway. The commission have to agree it to make any changes to their proposals.
Its a big waste of money - all of it. We pay for a charade.
Besides, Farage has the biggest national party in the EU Parliament now - bigger than Merkels I think ?. Not bad for not turning up - imagine where he would be if he did.
