Of course, but since you're from the UK I felt like pointing it out. What we observe as a whole, is national politicians parking their asses in Brussels and even before their seats get cold, they tell their own population about the nasty EU. Barring the fact that they have raised their paws to decide on something they later on blame on Brussels.
That's a sure way to create resentment and it's a sure way to give populists, who give even less of a shit for the real needs of the population, even more leverage.
Abaris, actually, the opposite happens. A UK politician, usually one who has failed, will go to Brussels and we will hear nothing more from them. Nothing.
They earn 3 times as much as our prime minister, with a £50k expense package and, for the most part, they are politicians who failed to get elected into their own parliament.
We hear nothing from them, nothing.
