Bairbre the West Brit?

According to this analysis of voting patterns in the European Parliament, Bairbre de Brun (52nd) has more loyalty to the UK than Diane Dodds (57th)...and Nick Griffin is the biggest traitor of all.

Well, there's no indication what the hell that means. It's more likely to be something like "opposes federaist policy"?

A majority (or v large minority) of the UK's MEPs would be anti-federalist now. Also quite a few of the Conservatives (along with Jim Nic) are in the top 20 and their new alliance was specifically set up as a protest against the federalism of the main centre-right grouping.

All that it means particularly with de Brun and Dodds (both anti-federalists) is that the former has voted more often with the UK MEPs than the latter.
