WHAT ARE THE TORY'S UP TO WITH THE EU?

Observing the actions of the Tory leader, David Cameron, and his close little coterie of Tory apparatchiks, you have to wonder if the Tory boy wonder doesn’t have a death wish for his party and any chance of winning the general election which is now only weeks away.

Everything Cameron and his clique do seems to be designed to alienating his core activist who he will need to win the election, also to confuse and put off the electorate who seem to be rapidly drifting away from him in the polls.

The Cameron team have taken on the very heart of the Conservative Party, its associations and chairmen around the country and imposed politically correct candidates upon them, and those that dare challenge this face insults and names such as the “Turnip Taliban”. At the same time a confused electorate, who are sick up to their back teeth of the rotten to the core Labour Government, are facing the only option of either voting for UKIP which is become an increasing influence, or some of fringe parties – or even not voting at all.

To add to this confusion and general malaise within the traditional Tory ranks, news has now got out that the arch Euro fanatic, the much loathed Ken Clarke, is trolling off to Brussels to have secret talks with the EU Commission President, Jose Manuel Barroso and other Commission members.

What is Cameron up to, he stole the Tory leadership on the promise that he would be sound on this issue, but has failed the party faithful, the majority of which, is quite hostile to further EU imposition. According to the Daily Telegraph the two day meeting is to inform the EU that it has nothing to fear from a Tory administration. It reported that Mr Clarke will be after certain concessions from the EU on financial and employment issues, but others are mightily suspicious.

Nigel Farage of the UK Independence Party made the claim that Ken Clarke was preparing to betray Tory Eurosceptics in readiness government. Is this going to be another Clarke Conservative stitch up, what exactly are the Tories up to with the EU?

The problem as I see it, Derek, is that a seat in parliament is no longer the prize to people like Cameron and his clique.

The LibLabCon elite have all agreed to join the EU in its intention to steal as much power and money as it can from the people of Europe.

Part of Cameron’s manifesto consists of reclaiming powers back from Brussels but he had the chance to lay down his marker when Bill Cash put forward his amendment on the supremacy of EU law over our Parliament during the Lisbon debate. Cameron, of course, told his MPs to abstain from voting – I think a honourable 42 Conservatives rebelled.

But, there is no surprise here. Is there.
