You know that you are making progress when you see others adapting to your view. This is what is happening to Libertas as the Conservative party suddenly starts talking about really doing something on the Lisbon Treaty. It is quite reasonable to ask why the Conservatives have been so quiet for so long on Europe. The answer, as everyone really knows, is that they are, and have been split, and would rather hide that split behind inaction, than bravely take up the major battles that are involved in reforming the EU. This has been bad for Britain.
Whatever contortions the Conservatives perform, they cannot alter the fact that the Conservatives' influence in the EU Parliament is small with just 27 MEPS out of 785. This is especially true as they have withdrawn from the main right wing group, the EPP.
It cannot alter the fact that the views on action that we in Libertas have in common with the Conservatives have a much better chance of being enacted in Brussels by a strong Pan European party - Libertas - with a clear purpose rather than one of the national parties trying to cobble together agreements with other small national parties.
The Conservatives have not been running a major campaign against the Brussels system of unaccountable civil servants running the show - Libertas has!
The Conservatives have not called for the EU commissioners to be elected - Libertas has!
The Conservatives have not been calling for more democracy in the EU government - Libertas has!
The Conservatives may be doing well in the natiinal polls but when it comes to Europe you should lend your vote to the party best positioned to reform the EU - Libertas
