As the fisheries policy is only a small part of the bigger picture, I doubt if Farage would have thought along those lines. His main point of attack against the EU, was uncontrolled immigration. But I do think in getting paid to be an MEP, he should have turned up and done the job he was paid for.
On the other hand, look at the number of MP that seem to do very little, and the greater number of Lords, that do even less.
