Daniel Hannan responds
Daniel Hannan, Conservative MEP for South East England, has responded to my letter regarding software patents. Unfortunately, he doesn’t even read it, saying that because the Conservatives disagreed with the proportional representation system used at the EU elections, they’ve decided to subdivide the South East into 4 constituencies, and sending a letter to him was not appropriate. He’s passed my letter on to Richard Ashworth, who’ll now have two copies.
Given that there’s no information on this anywhere on the Europarl website, it seems a rather churlish thing to do – “We didn’t want the system, so rather than play fair with it, we’ll just be petulant and pretend it runs the way we want anyway”.
Ah well, I can at least hope that Mr Ashworth will read the content, and pass the contents onto Mr Hannan.
