One of the arguments that I hate on this is the 'oh euro-political-types aren't elected by us, therefore we don't have a say mumble mumble'
Well, yes, but I don't get any more of a say in who's in the House of Commons than I do in the Euro-parliament. I don't get to vote in all of the constituencies in the UK, only the one that I'm in. That's how democracy in generally taken as working.
See http://www.votewatch.eu/en/term8-voting-statistics.html#/#6/0/2014-07-01/2016-08-01// for who has voted what % of times.
Sadly there's not a comparable table for expenses that I could find.
