Euro Tories in splendid isolation

12.03.09

“Once again the Tories have put dogma before national interest. This is aparty not fit to govern” says Glenis Willmott MEP, Labour’s Leader in Europe.

Yesterday William Hague met with the Josef Daul, Leader of the European People’s Party (EEP) to confirm that Tories MEPs will leave the biggest group of the European Parliament and to set up their own political group.

“Tory MEPs will have no influence and no say in the European Parliament. This cannot be good for the people of Britain, who they claim to represent in Europe” Glenis Willmott MEP continued. “Tories in the next European Parliament will sit in splendid isolation with a rag bag of nobodies who none wants to listen to. David Cameron will have to explain how this will be of help to the women and men of Britainin a time of crisis.”
