Jonathan Arnott, Ukip’s general secretary, compared the numerous political parties which exist within the European Union’s parliament to “blood-sucking insects”.

He accused Brussels leadership of wasting taxpayers money by allowing different unelected parties to form across the bloc.

Speaking in Strasbourg, during a discussion on funding of the European parties, Mr Arnott said: “When you state subsidise something you encourage more of it.

“Farmers set aside land more regularly because the European Union pays them to do so. We pay child benefit because it’s social desirable to encourage people to have children.

“This debate concerns European political parties, you, I’m sure, will recall the old jokes suggesting the word politics derives from the Greek word ‘poly’ meaning many and ticks meaning blood sucking insects.

“The irony of an MEP saying this is not out on me, but we’re subsidised politicians. European political parties don’t appear on ballot papers, they don’t form governments, they don’t even correspond to the political groups in this place.
