.....except they don't even agree on hating the EU. Several of the 'usual suspects' right-wingers actually want the EU. I believe it was a UKIP member who withdrew from the previous nutter coalition, citing "members want the EU to remain" as his reason.

Also, EU politics work in blocks. If you can't create a functional block, you can't do much. Having a large portion of the MEP's throwing tantrums constantly won't block much.
