parliamentary information office: I don't know if Andrea Leadsom is, like a frightened child whistling in the dark, totally ignorant of how under EU laws, the powers surrendered by past and present administrations cannot be repatriated, or being deliberately disingenuous. In either event her call for 'fundamental reform', is empty of any any real hope of change.
Given the manner in which EU law works, the only hope we have for fundamental change is with the unanimous agreement of all the other other member states, I believe the chances of that occurring is about as likely as the Tories keeping the seat at the forthcoming election in Corby.
The only other way we can bring about the sort of change Ms Leadsom is advocating is for parliament to pass a bill refuting the 1973 EU treaty, since the chances of that coming to pass, is about as likely as Mr. Cameron agreeing to an IN/OUT referendum after the Christmas recess.
As a life long Tory Voter, I am disgusted and disappointed by the rhetoric and misleading comments in respect if the EU, emanating from Downing street I'm equally dismayed when I read meaningless articles such as Ms Leadsom as chosen to write. It is because of that I have defected to Ukip.
parliamentary information office: the EU needs fundamental reform. This is where Conservatives – and the country – should target their energies.
How do you propose that this will happen, Andrea?
Britain is but one ofthe 27 members of the eu club and not even a highly regarded one. The vague concept of "reform" may appeal to some of the other fringe members (Sweden, Poland and possibly Denmark) but there is no clarity as to what form it should take. Worse, it is likely to be vigourously resisted by the club's heavy-weights* and the eu apparat itself.
I have more chance of seeing a squadron of pigs fly past my window oinking in harmony the theme tune from Dambusters.
*Especially the French, for whom the CAP is merely a way to get foreigners to pay French peasants to stay away from Paris and the Spanish, for whom the CFP serves a similar purpose vis a vis Spanish fishermen and Madrid.
parliamentary information office: This is more of the silly, naive "we're winning the argument; they're moving in our direction"-type thinking that has characterized British self deception over Europe for the past couple of decades. Our continental partners have their own agenda toward which British ideas of reform have little relevance. EU "reform" is on a trajectory towards banking, fiscal and political integration.
parliamentary information office: I think my local quilt making club should undergo fundamental change to a cage bird club. That way I can remain a member and not bitch about hating making quilts. Tell you what might be a better idea. Why don't I leave the quilt-making club and join the cage bird club, which is my hobby? That will also help the people who enjoy making quilts to do so without a pain in the ass hanging around. I never realised I am a genius.
