MPs’ EU voting record
Of note :
The Bruges Group has ranked Members of Parliament according to their voting in the House of Commons since the 2010 General Election You can check how they voted on the key EU related issues that came before them and see who are the genuine Eurosceptics and who are Europhile.
I’ve listed all MPs who scored 50% plus, in percentage order but for the full list, click on the link above. Therefore, in the light of many campaigns currently underway, including our Say No to the Big 3, perhaps we could be a little circumspect and exclude some of those below from our wrathful box filling at the next elections:

There may have been errors in transferring from the Bruges’ Group list. These will be corrected as they come to light. It’s fairly obvious from this that the Lib-Dems should be eliminated from the political arena at the next elections.
Well done, Bruges Group, for that mammoth task.

IPJ just asked about the basis on which the list was made. The BG wrote:
In important votes in the House of Commons if an MP votes to protect or preserve Britain’s democracy and economy from EU interference they are awarded a score of plus 2. If the MP votes in a way that harms our freedom, prosperity and sovereignty the MP receives a vote of minus 2. In the face of pressure from the Whips acting on behalf of their pro-EU leadership an abstention receives a score of plus 1.
No wonder my MP failed to answer any questions on the EU ,-82% but he’d lost my vote long before that .
