The Kintyre Forum

The European elections are coming up on Jun 4th. Although a boring topic for many Europe is where most of our laws are made which affect every one of us.

One new party, formed to stem the privatization of public services and to stop the gravy train of expenses for people who do not even form the laws, is No2EU-Yes To Democracy. The coalition is made up union representatives and left wing parties.

"The so-called European ‘parliament’ is an expensive fraud which has no law-making or parliamentary powers. All EU laws are proposed by another EU institution, the unelected European Commission, which is heavily influenced by corporate and big business lobbyists.

A recent report showed that MEPs can make over one million pounds from a single five-year term by claiming various allowances and even for assistants for whom no record exists. The pay of British MEPs’ will rise by even more after Junes election."


The list of list candidates for this party for Scotland is:

Prof John Foster – Scottish Campaign Against Euro Federalism secretary
Tommy Sheridan – Solidarity Co-Convenor
Leah Ganley – Student at Dundee University
Stuart Hyslop – Retired seafarer RMT
Ajit Singh Uppal – Indian Workers Association (pc)
Tom Morrison – Secretary Clydebank TUC

Use your vote for democracy and accountability.

Are the SNP pro-Europe?

If so, what are they claiming independence from?
How would it be possible to object to Westminster rule,
yet agree to being ruled by Brussels or Strasbourg.

And don't give me any of the "strong voice in Europe" rubbish, as Scotland already has a strong voice in Westminster !
You really can't make this stuff up.

£3.73, you'll probably find there are some in favour and some against within the SNP. If I have one concern over the SNP, its that fact you don't really know some of their members stand for individually, albeit they all have one common goal. I sometimes see the SNP as a bit of a mish mash brought together for one reason. That's why I feel if Scotland did become independent the SNP would probably fizzle out, almost because they would have served their purpose.

Come on though, you can't compare the current set up to an independent Scotland in Europe. The type of 'rule' you refer to from Brussels, albeit seemingly increasing, would not extend to revenue collection and the allocation of a wee bit pocket money the way Westminster does.

Sorry folks but democracy does not work- they are all power mad, corrupt and self serving. had thought there was a few decent ones but after the last few weeks?


Nah!

we said no to our southern brethern for many years but by the letter of democracy it was democratic that the whole of britain denied us our own governance. Stuff em all.

yeah I watched Newsnight Scotland from Dublin through the week and it was all about Ireland and Europe. Have to say I don't know much about the Lisbon treaty, but is seems the electorate in the referendum didn't either.

Typical BBC pushing the angle that Ireland is bust.
