Tell us what our Members of the European Parliament do!
We are asked to vote for MEPs, but no one knows who their MEP is or what they do on our behalf. We have the excellent website 'theyworkforyou.com' that you can set up to notify you whenever your MP speaks in the House of Commons.
It is time that this government ensures that MEPs are equally accountable to us, their electorate.
Strangely I cannot find a Government department that deals with the EU.
More transparency is required if you expect us to take an interest
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The European Parliament, as an institute of the European Union, is separate to HM Government. The European Parliament’s own website and its own information office in the UK can provide further information on MEPs, their respective websites are as follows: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/portal/en and http://www.europarl.org.uk/en/your_meps.html;jsessionid=CD5818C8E735EF3AFFD476F4A76B2EF3. It is worth noting that the website www.TheyWorkForYou.com is independent of HM Government.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office leads on the UK Government’s policy on the Institutions of the European Union.
