non partisan comment on the European Union and Westminster politics

 

Quote

I may have posted this before but it needs repeating anyway.

European federalism is another secular religion, like communism or fascism, whose attractions prove so great because they reassure people who have lost their inner bearings that they are still on the winning side of History. Its proponents display the self-righteousness, the intolerance of dissent, the assumption that the ends will justify the means — including subversion of a country’s democracy — that their counterparts so enthusiastically practised”.

The Cost of a Member

Helen Szamuely of Eureferendum has some costs of the British and EU parliaments and the House of Lords. It makes interesting reading Here: Considering the amount of work these various bodies do it is surprising how much they are all costing us the tax payer to keep them in the style to which they think they are entitled!

“Costs per member for the 2003-04 session were as follows:
House of Lords: £91,000,
House of Commons: £409,000,
European Parliament: £1,138,000.”
