What a great article!
I don't think even the official websites have anything this comprehensive (or indeed comprehensible).
I lived in Strasbourg for a while, and the farce of pandering to French national pride by having to travel there was often a subject of discussion among those friends of mine who were MEP assistants.
I do have one question.
As en ex-pat without local citizenship (just residence permission), should I address myself to the MEP of my area back home, or of my new adoptive country (ie, the one I just voted for?)

An interesting question! Don't know.
Well, based on this entry, I think the European Parliament is a very good thing. Anything that makes sure politicians will actually be able to do very, very little has to be a good thing!

Thanks for your comments all
Inkwash, I would say that you would be better off trying your new MEP, but if it's an issue linked to your 'old' country, you could still contact your old MEP - maybe not specifying you no longer vote in their constituency...
