You obviously have not been able to identify any EU policies that have adversely affected the Well being of the Uk and don’t disagree with me that the membership of the EU has Been a Positive benefit to the UK and that there has been in our prosperity since the referendum which is likely to continue post departure.

So it seems your concern is that you have less representation on a ratio of 1/751 (0 is incorrect, the UK has 73 MEP’s) than the 1/650 you have in the UK. OK, so be it but I’d be more concerned that a significant number of those 73 elected UK MEP’s had a vested interest in the EU failing therefore did not fight the UK’s corner. Farage and many others hardly bothered to turn up
Thank you for your polite and well thought out response. Food for thought and a need for further research by me, so I'll not bother replying at this point since it'd involve glib generalisations and you deserve better than that.
