David Heathcoat-Amory, the Conservative MP for Wells, follows Philip Davies and Daniel Kawczynski in responding to the accusation from Power 2010 that he is an MP who is "failing democracy".
Power 2010 alleges that I block democratic reform and attack civil liberties. This is untrue. I have constantly stood for personal freedom, limited government and parliamentary rights against rule from Brussels.
The Power 2010 campaign is exclusively funded by the Joseph Rowntree Trust, which has given nearly £5 million to the Liberal Democrats, and whose Director is contributing to a book called, Why Vote Liberal Democrat.
This campaign is therefore a front for the Liberal Democrats. If the campaign was really about democracy, it would ask why some MPs and parties broke their clear election promise to support a referendum on the EU Treaty. But of course that would embarrass the Liberal Democrats, so it is not included.
If Power 2010 really wants to reform politics, they could start with themselves, and end these negative, inaccurate and partisan attacks funded by a rich Foundation.
