Why did UK Labour MEP Arlene McCarthy fail to vote to protect vulnerable children?

Why did UK Labour MEP Arlene McCarthy fail to vote to protect vulnerable children? » EDRi: "She then left Brussels, failing to turn up for the vote. This was not very surprising, as she missed a total of 1880 votes in the last 5 years and has a voting record worse than 88% of Members of the European Parliament. If she actually believed what she was alleging, on the other hand, it would be surprising.

She explicitly attacked her own Socialist colleague, former French Culture Minister Catherine Trautmann, implicitly also accusing her colleagues from the Liberal, Green and GUE/NGL political groups that had signed those (or identical) amendments, of undermining the protection of children." 'via Blog this'
