I am one of your constituents living in Claygate and an ex-Tory voter
of some twenty years standing ever since John Major rammed through the
Maastricht Treaty in 1992. The problem with the modern day Conservative
Party is that it is no longer conservative and most of the hierarchy
have long since abandoned their principles in the pursuit of power, and
in particular, both David Cameron and William Hague, not to mention
many other
front benchers. They have sold their souls for political advantage and
position.
I mentioned to Tim Montgomery yesterday that you had not yet put your
name to the call for a debate in Parliament, next Monday, and suggested
that he e-mailed you to determine your position, which he did. I
believe that you said you were still "mulling" it over. Mr Raab, I
would ask you: what is there to mull over? If at your time of life and
your time in politics as a bag carrier and researcher and now an MP,
you still need time to 'discover' your position I would say that it
bodes ill for your future vision as to where the Tories should go if
you have not already established an intellectual position on this, one
of the most vitally important issues, in British politics today.
I have been asked by Tony Read and Kevin Goddard not to raise these
issues with you in public at tomorrow's lunch. As they are both
lifelong friends of mind I said I would acquiesce but I would like a
few minutes of your time in a quiet corner of the room. Don't worry, I
shall make myself known to you.
I shall also be outside Parliament all day on Monday in what will,
hopefully, be a major demonstration in support of the call for a
referendum. What gives me and many others cause for concern is the
sheer
hypocrisy, naivete of most of the political class in this country and
their profound ignorance in that they
call for 'democracy' in the Arab world while denying it in their own
countries and deferring to the EU. Even Prime Minister Putin said on
Russia Today on Wednesday that what the EU has rammed through in recent
years in terms of political integration, economic and political union,
not to mention regulation and law the old USSR Soviet would not have
dared to attempt to push through at the height of their power. As
Gorbachov once said: the EU is the new European Soviet. And you need to
'mull' it over. YHe Gods!
You don't need to be a genius to know that the EU is in terminal
decline. Just look at what is going on in the rest of the world and
compare it with the bureaucrats who run the EU. The EU held eighteen
per cent of world GDP in 2000 and 10% is forecast by year 2025. Not my
figures; the OECD in Paris.
