Perhaps we should have a quota system - say at least 5% of MPs ( EU citizens) or a percentage equal to proportion of continentals living in the UK? They would certainly be less partisan and probably do a better job than the current load of rubbish present on all sides. At least Europeans would be elected by us rather than be imposed on us from Brussells. Perhaps this would make a good Europhile agenda, however we would have to extend full voting rights to all EU citizens to do this. I’m sure Eurosceptics would prefer this system where at least we elect Europeans rather than them being imposed on us by Brussells. Remember politicians complain about the poor quality British worker, so maybe the electorate can complain about the quality of the British politician and vote for a European politicain instead!
