EU BUDGET MUST BE CUT.

Last week's EU budget debate and vote in the House of Commons has caused a few ripples but is unlikely to do achieve much more. When it comes down to the wire, Cameron, and the UK, have limited choices.

 

While the socialist mafia at the the centre of the EU want a massive increase to their budgt, Cameron has said tht he is determined to achieve a 'freeze' or, at worst, an inflationary increase only. That this is little more than political rhetoric and an almost impossible ambition has been glossed over. The Parliamentary vote which made it clear that there is no stomach in the House of Commons for anything less than a real-terms cut in the budget certainly stirred things up but power still resides with the EU and its assorted mechanisms.

 

Cameron can veto whatever the rest agree, but that will result in an inflationary increase allied with huge annoyance from the 17 nations which are net recipients of the EU's largesse. These countries want an increase and nothing less will do; a reduction simply isn't on the cards. There seems to be no doubt that the very best Cameron can achieve is the inflationary increase and this will create in great animosity towards the UK. Whtever the UK wants thereafter will be scrutinised minutely and very probably subject to vetos played by the annoyed members.

 

The EU is a disaster for the UK and we should get out. Trading is one thing, political and economic subservience is another. That the people at the centre of this obscene socialist entity continue to believe in bigger budgets and more spending at a time when individual states are suffering huge budget cuts and spending reductions shows just how out of touch they are. Their adherence to the Euro, at all cost, shows that it is politics and not economics or common sense that are driving them and we must distance ourselves from this.

 

The real test will come when Cameron brings whatever budget proposal he gets from Brussels back to the House of Commons. If they then reject the proposal it will be a crisis of sorts; the question is 'Will they actually do it ?"
