It was the fault of the three main parties,
who never took the Euro elections seriously after the Greens won 15%(?) in the late '80s.

All three accepted low turnouts as inevitable allowing the kipper rabble to gain representation and then use their EU funding to keep their nationalist agenda heard at home.

Huh. Interesting. This is a theory I'd not heard before. By ignoring the EU elections, the major parties allowed a marginal party the opportunity to legitimize itself (and siphon off funds).

There is so much the UK fucked up in regard to its relationship with the EU.
