MEPs, High Profile or Invisible

Interesting analysis of MEP's profiles by Open Europe blog

We wanted to know which MEPs were most effective in gaining publicity. So we've done a quick back-of-the-envelope ranking based on how many times they have appeared in the press over the last 6 months (as measured by the Lexis Nexis database) and how many hits they turn up on Google.

Obviously we expect more from our Politicians than being publicity whores, but the results are interesting non the less. Our favourite Conservative MEP is top.
