Labour & Europe ... a personal view

I can't help wondering why after meeting Mrs Merkel of Germany, Tony Blair decided to hand back the rebates Mrs. Thatcher fought hard to get for this country despite Britain paying a higher contribution than the French.

Again it doesn't make sense why Gordon Brown pushed through the Lisbon Treaty by parliamentary vote and denied us our referendum which Labour promised in their 2005 election manifesto.

Why didn't he join the Euro when one pound was one euro & fifty centime. He outlined five criteria as to why Britain wasn't ready. Now the pound is nearly on par. Why did the Labour Party let the bankers earn huge bonuses and almost bankrupt the country despite having created the FSA?

Why did Gordon Brown sell gold bullion for $250 an ounce? (It is now $1150). I think they have no regard for the voters and they think they can do the thinking for us.

The reputation of Britain suffered when it was revealed how MPs were milking the system of claiming expenses.

This time I hope the voters will not be fooled into believing that Labour deserves a fourth term in May 2010.
