I don't want anyone legislating for me that I didn't get a vote for.

But why not?

Also, it's worth pointing out that at present, you only get to vote for one MP, whereas the other 600 odd all legislate for you. Do you want some system of MTV where we all get as many votes as there are seats?

It's worse than that: large amounts of legislation come pretty directly from Europe, where all sorts of people legislate for you and you only get a small influence over some MEPs.

I'm not able to see how that's "worse" I'm afraid. I at least get to vote (I think) for several MEPs, whereas I only get to vote for one MP.
