The move by the President is unprecedented and marks a dangerous time for EU democracy where if the President of the Parliament can overturn a democratic vote they disagree with - what is the point of the Parliament at all?
So I have collected all the details on the MEPs who failed to vite against the procedure yesterday along with their voting history on issues relating to fundamental rights and their history of meetings with lobbyists.
The results paint a very clear picture that these MEPs represent business, not the people who elected them.
