    i didn't state that it was, but maybe that reflects a perception among voters of the growing irrelevance of parliament in the face of ever greater divestitures of power to brussels?

    that EU wide the proportion and enthusiasm of eu voters has declined by nearly a third is a sobering fact, the fact that within the UK it has never got much above one third is derisory.
