What a poor attempt by Brian Simpson (Points of view, August 3) to try to defend the European "list" allocation system; how can you defend the indefensible?
This move away from democracy was forced on us not because Parliament wants it but because Labour did.
The fact remains that, just like other Euro MPs, Brian Simpson has not been elected by the people and therefore represents no one.
Is it any wonder that the majority of the public are cynical about politics in general and Euro politics in particular?
