The following question was asked at Saturday's SE England reselection meeting for MEPs:
“David Cameron has pledged to take Conservative MEPs out of the European People’s Party. If there were not enough parties to constitute a new Group, would you none the less honour that pledge and sit as an independent?”
All four answered "yes".
It's good to get things like that on the record.
PS Roger Helmer was also toplisted at the weekend for the East Midlands region. We are still heading for that clean sweep of incumbent MPs being awarded the top slots at the next European Elections...
