EU Referendum: “Three bald men�

Clearly intrigued by the spectacle of two bald men fighting over a comb (see previous Blog), Lib-Dim MEP Christopher Huhne has joined in the spat between Bill Cash and Digby Jones over parliamentary scrutiny of EU legislation � to make three bald men fighting over a comb.

In a letter to The Times today, Huhne actually argues against the British parliament having the power to reject parts of EU legislation on the grounds that, if every one of the parliaments in the 25 member states could do so, there would be very little left of the legislation by the time every one of them had finished with it.

You can see where Huhne is coming from with his comment that, ‘for those of us who also want to stop EU red tape from impeding British business, but see that the EU delivers peace, prosperity and the power to tackle problems outside the reach of nation states, there must be other solutions’. Therein lies the essential fantasy of the Europhile: ‘peace, prosperity and the power to tackle problems outside the reach of nation states’.

Tell us more, Mr Huhne, tell us how the EU has brought us peace and prosperity� And is subordination to a supranational government really the only way to ‘tackle problems outside the reach of nation states’?”

Richard North as usual gets to the point of the EU and the Eurphile aurgument.
