Comments on: Europe Causes More Trouble for the Coalition Government 2011/03/15/europe-causes-more-trouble-for-the-coalition-government/ London MEP European Parliament Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:57:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Daniel Oxley 2011/03/15/europe-causes-more-trouble-for-the-coalition-government/#comment-4159 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:27:23 +0000 ?p=14042#comment-4159 Europe or more specifically the EU is problematic for other parties as well. Each of the three leaders of the Lib/Lab/Con Party promised a referendum on the Lisbon Constitution and we still haven’t had it.

Our political class are really bad workers. We pay them all that money and they can’t do a simple thing like organise a referendum. It is like paying a window cleaner who never cleans your windows. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

I’m in full agreement that the ECHR has been a great (and effective) force for human rights in Europe for the 47 Member States of the Council of Europe.
