Elaine Loughlin: Wallace and Daly fail to reflect the wishes of the people they represent

Clare Daly and Mick Wallace were among just 13 MEPs to vote against a motion condemning Russian aggression against Ukraine and demanding Vladimir Putin immediately pull his troops out.

Wallace and Daly may have been elected as ‘Independents 4 Change’ but now their views have become truly independent of the people who sent them to Europe

What has become of Mick Wallace and Clare Daly?

The two Irish MEPs, previously well-regarded and at times admired as political disrupters, have spiralled so far down an anti-US, anti-Europe, pro-Putin radical conspiracy theory black hole that they have become pariahs in Europe, even among some of their own.
