But I suppose that if he wants more EU-critical friends, this is the sort of shite that has to be done.<br /><br />I suppose this is a lesson to right-wingers that just because Nick Cohen vaguely slags off people he calls "the left", it doesn't make him any kind of ally to you. He is best avoided in general :)asquithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246701347539264295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27939552.post-32979735349697167222009-07-27T09:12:40.025+01:002009-07-27T09:12:40.025+01:00Whoops pressed send to early.
I feel a bit sorry ...Whoops pressed send to early.<br /><br />I feel a bit sorry for Cameron here as I'm not sure he really wanted to stick by the pledge, and really would like to say something like 'I don't even want to be in the EU, so it's hardly my fault I'm saddled with this nutty parliament'. And I don't think it'll matter as long as Conservative MEPs attack their allies on certain issues when required.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214026669109045616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27939552.post-34148552103004551992009-07-27T09:11:20.406+01:002009-07-27T09:11:20.406+01:00I'm not sure.

Also although many parties have extremists (surely many Conservatives belive the things you say the mainstream right European parties believe?) it seems that Cameron's allies (from the larger Polish party to the single MEP ones by definition) actually have those views has party policy, whereas:<br /><br />The German CDU who have campaigned on slogans of "Children Not Indians".<br /><br />Are you sure? The link suggests just one German CDU candidate did, I'm not sure it was (as you give the impression) party policy.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214026669109045616noreply@blogger.com
