Prob get one in your order yes <| sep |> Sing , my little seafood dishes ! <| sep |> What is the EU in your conspiracy ? The Commission ? The Council ? The Parliament ? Who is this EU ? What actor are you referring to ? Once you work it out , you might begin to understand how stupid this conspiracy about referenda sounds . Yes you are in part right , though people vote for MPs for many different reasons , of which the party leader is one . And of course first past the post encourages tactical voting as well . In the case of the EU , there were televised debates across the EU . The European Greens held a European primary in which anyone could vote to choose their candidate for Commission President . The UK broadcasters chose not to show them , and our media , hostile and eurosceptic not to cover it . That , as Professor Hix outlines is not the EU ' s fault . You ' d really be pushing it to blame them . This was also the first time this process has occurred , as it is a result of changes in the Lisbon treaty . This debate was even done in EnglishdhafgcPeXesGerman channels bid for the two main candidates to appear for a live debate xRbnHwh 3 BUThe UK media was encouraged to as well , but declined . So sorry , the media and our establishment failed you here . Also , the more you try to assert that educational institutions receiving funds from the EU biases them , the more idiotic you sound . EU grants make a relatively small proportion of total grants held by these universities . The LSE European Politics department , is also not known for pulling its punches against the EU establishment .
