There are elections. But how many MEPs can you name off the top of your head? I can't name a single one... I think that's the perceived issue with EU law making.

Nigel Farage. Who will stay in his position as MEP until the next reelection. And he probably gets paid in EUR.

It's not like the list is secret, if people choose to remain ignorant of who the MEPs are that's their own choice.

People are ignorant of their MEP's because MEPs are irrelevant and can't campaign on policies.

MEPs have less power than they should have, but it's also that media refuse to report on EU politics, and voters prefer their national news.
