IN the European elections we were told that less than 20 per cent of voters went to the polls. Have politicians and councillors not got the message by now that people are fed up with them and don't trust them?

The last European Parliament was riddled with corruption and the new one might well be the same. We don't even know who we were being asked to vote for!
