MEPs ‘the most hated’ in Britain
MEMBERS of the European Parliament are the least trusted people in Britain, a poll showed yesterday.
They have overtaken traditional hate figures like estate agents, lawyers, car mechanics and bankers.
Over a third of the 1,000 people surveyed said MEPs’ pay and perks were “outrageous” while two-thirds said the European Parliament was a waste of taxpayers’ money.
EU critic Olly Figg, who commissioned the survey, said: “It’s well known that people dislike politicians but it’s surprising that MEPs have overtaken the traditional hate figures.”
