We have 13 members of the Parliament. We are stuck out here in the Atlantic. Our near neighbour is gone. It is a great tragedy. Let us think of where we are going and reconsider this huge structure. Individual member states want to run their own affairs but share responsibility with colleagues in Europe. It is sad to see what is happening. I hope we do not see any other members leaving.
