If the LibDems really want to shake off their complete image of absolute Europhilia, then someone should have a quiet word with their LibDem MEPs.
As a Tory I thought it robust and positive that Charles Kennedy proposed a ceiling on the EU's budget. It is sensible in the wake of drift in the EU and a government body seen as remote, fraudulent and overspending.
Yet his stance was dashed by Chris Davies, the LibDem MEP leader.
They really should ditch this idiot. After narrowly taking the Littleborough &Saddleworth seat from the Tories in the 1995 by-election he lost it to Labour in 1997 and as many a redundant retread does, heads off to Brussels in 1999 as an MEP
Whilst there he has been arrested for being in possession of cannabis and openly wants drug legalisation. What a great leader for the UK in the EU. Nothing else he has done is worth mention.
But then you've got other ex-MPs in the group as well, like ousted Rochdale MP Liz Lynne and Tory turncoats Emma Nicholson and Bill Newton-Dunn |

It appears after there conferance that the lib dems are a utter shambles. Shame really.
I do have the intention of joining them and molding them back into the liberal party though :D. |

Well for once I find a certain cabal in the LibDem ranks assert some interesting policies, it's just I really do find it so difficult to accept this confused LibDemery.
Do the LibDems now really want to become the Liberal Party again? And I find it really hard to listen to a LibDem leader lecture on the virtues of Gladstone and economic liberalism, when he spent many years in the Labour Party and was SDP rather than Liberal |

| MEP's from all parties do not tend to be the cream of the crop. Is you think the Liberal Democrat conference is bad, just wait for the Tories...and then Labour's lol |

When you say Liberal party, do you mean the party based around civil liberties with a commitment to public services the Lib Dems seem to be pursuing recently or do you mean classic liberal ala Libertarians? |

Mm, Libertarians espouse similar things about civil liberties as Modern Liberals do. I'd personally go for a combination of the two ideologies. I defintaly view the state as a necessary evil that should be curbed at everystep, but there is nothing wrong with having local power invested with similar powers as our current central government.
It's easier to fight someone you live 20 miles in the vicinity of. :wink: |

The latter, allthough the liberal party has allways had a commitment to improve the economy of the u.k while not interfearing with the freetrade system, which the minium intervention to maximise merit goods undoubtably dose. |

I see that prize plum of the week award goes to Chris Davies MEP again.
The clutz is in all support of £135m being spent on ANOTHER useless EU building built in glass and woods from across the 25 EU members, for ministers to hold their summits in 2013.
His justification, in his words 'If an imaginative structure can help inject a bit of vision into ministers, it will be money well spent.' Is this clown serious?
The campaign to Sack Chris Davies goes on! |
