    To be honest the 'old' UKIP thread has strayed away from the subject so I thought I'd help you get back on track.

    When questioned about their poor attendance here are some of UKIP's responses

    First answer..".UKIP do not recognise the European Parliament so why would they attend parliamentary sessions?"

    erm, interesting that they recognise the parliament when it comes to clocking in and cashing out..

    2."UKIP MEPs have more use in their own country than in the European Parliament"

    erm, how does that work out? What use do they have when they have about as much say in national issues as Nick Griffin has on a black history month event?

    3. "why do you always pick on UKIP, grow some political back bone"

    And this was someone from UKIP who refuses to acknowledge that not bothering to turn up and represent your own country when laws are being made is in any way wrong .

    My most favourite of all the responses was this one:

    "people don't vote for UKIP for them to go to the European Parliament"

    Hmm, not what was said on the election leaflets. Good luck getting any votes telling people that. Vote for us and we won't bother our overpaid arses to go and represent our country, despite cashing in on the allowances that are there to allow us to do so.

    For a party that obsesses over the EU and bangs on about it all the time you would expect that they would be camped outside the European Parliament, there at every meeting and vote, sticking up for us poor Brits. Evidently not.

    UKIP members wonder why Eurosceptics want nothing to do with them. They wonder why they lost to the BNP in practically every constituency in the general election. They wonder why, despite at least 60% of Brits wanting a referendum on the EU that barely 2% vote for the one party that promises an in or out referendum.

    Oh and how many elected UKIP MEPs no longer sit with UKIP in the European Parliament? Two. In other words, barely a year gone by and UKIP have already lost two MEPs. And counting..
