Floru for Europe

Do you want your country back ?

  THANK YOU

  Thank you friends, activists, and voters for returning three Conservative MEPs to represent London. The Conservative Party remains the largest

  party in the country, gaining 1 % and one extra MEP seat, and becoming almost twice as big as the Labour Party. With this result we are in

  fighting spirit: to hold the referendum which Labour and the LibDems denied us and to repatriate powers back from Brussels to London. Freedom

  won the elections.

  Campaigning all around London (73 parliamentary constituencies, 7.2 million Londoners) has been quite an eye opener and a wonderful

  experience. I enjoyed every single speech, event, canvas and social interaction during the campaign. Everywhere the Conservatives were made

  to feel welcome in a way I have never seen before.

  Being fourth on the London list, I did not win a seat. After the MP expenses scandals it is the result I expected. I will not disappear though: I am

  applying for the candidates' list for parliament. To defend our freedom to live our lives as we choose. To protect and expand individual liberty

  and the free market economy.

  For freedom,

  JP Floru

 

Dear Visitor,

Will we rule ourselves, or will we be ruled by others? That is the essence of the European debate.

We thought we signed up for a free trade area, but what we are really getting is a European superstate. This is why I want to go to Brussels: not to gain power for me, but to give power back to you. That does not make me an anti-European. That makes me a democrat.

The UK’s success is caused by its free market and its low regulation. We are flooded by European regulations. I went into politics to try to reduce the size of government. If you elect me I will fight the nanny state - both European and domestic.

We are all eurosceptics or eurenthusiasts to some extent. Most dislike European waste. Most like European culture. But the fact that we like going on holiday to France or like eating Italian food does not mean that we like to be ruled by them.

I believe that only a clear programme will sweep the Conservatives to victory in 2009. I believe that we should either drastically reform the EU, or renegotiate our position.

So this is my pledge:

1 I will never vote for a tax increase.

2 I will never vote for a transfer of power to Brussels

3 I will fight for the City of London.

4 And last but not least: I will not go native. I did not move to Britain 14 years ago to see it become what I fled from.

WE WANT A REFERENDUM !







I have not updated my website regularly recently - because I am rushing all around London trying to speak at as many events and in as many constituencies as possible. The London Region includes 73 parliamentary constituencies which we are trying to cover with eight candidates...

On Monday 27 April the Conservative Party launched its poster demanding a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. Labour did promise a referendum, but decided not to keep its promise, on the basis that they promised it for the European Consitution and not Lisbon. We all know that the Lisbon Treaty is virtually the same as the old European Constitution. Changing its name was just a trick to allow people like Brown to breach their promise. And the LibDems? They also promised a referendum...and then abstained in parliament. If they had voted for a referendum we would have had it because the LibDem MPs held the balance of power. Another broken promise - Labour and LibDems cannot be trusted on Europe.

Today the Conservative Party is the only mainstream party which keeps its election promise of a referendum. It is also the only party with a reasonable chance of achievingthat goal. A referendum will allow YOU can decide your own future.

BROWN’S BRITISH DREAM : MORE ON THE DOLE

Brown has reduced the competitiveness of the UK’s labour market. This means less investment and less employment by companies in the UK.

The government’s labour flexibility measure ILMA shows rising flexibility until 2000, and stagnation after that. A key flexibility component which rose was supply of labour (immigration). Working time, pay and employment flexibility declined. The balance shows a neutral - but will go down as immigration slows. The IoD Index of Labour Flexibility shows that Denmark and Ireland are more flexible than the UK and others catch up.

Growing inflexibility stems from the deluge of UK and EU employment regulations: minimum wage; parental pay and leave, part-time and short-term workers enjoying full benefits, etc. More is coming: the Revised Working Time Directive; the Temporary Agency Workers Directive, etc. Link to IoD

UKIP HELPED SOCIALISM AND THE EUROPEAN FEDERAL SUPERSTATE

Robin Page explains in this morning’s Telegraph why he just resigned from UKIP (link). He describes how several UKIP MEPs had to resign because of sleaze. He describes how UKIP is torn apart by infighting, and how their candidates are only too happy to jump onto the gravy train and experience the great life in Brussels.

UKIP has achieved two things. It has prevented the Conservatives from winning about thirty more seats at the last General Elections. This has resulted in them being less effective to oppose the rampant socialism which is being introduced by Labour. In addition UKIP may have cost us the vote on whether or not to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. The government won in the Commons by only 62 votes. If Conservatives had had 30 seats more (if UKIP had not opposed it), and Labour 30 less, we would have come very close to winning a referendum for the UK citizens. We all know what the outcome of such a referendum would have been.

So UKIP has helped socialism and the European federal superstate. May it perish.

OF COURSE TORIES CAN LISTEN TO LEFTIE MUSIC !

In today’s Telegraph Neil McCormick writes about Cameron’s admission on Monday that he is a a Morrisey fan. McCormick gives an erudite explanation for this Shocking Revelation.

What about this one: politicians switch off, too. We are not fundamentalists. If we were, we would not watch Hollywood films (left wing bias); not worship at most churches; not shop at Sainsbury’s (Labour donor. I do have a soft spot for Tesco though); not eat at The Ivy (Actually...since the owner saw the true light we can again).

I like the Fratellis, The Kooks, The Rumble Strips, etc. I have no idea what their politics are and I don’t care. Usually their lyrics are noised out because I listen to them on XFM while driving around in central London. Most bands achieved the Conservative dream: pursue their dreams and aspirations; become self-reliant; success through their own effort rather than the state. They probably hate paying Brown’s excessive taxes just like everybody else. For McCormick's article click here.

LADS' MAGS AND CIGARETTES : NEW LABOUR, NEW TYRANNY

Claire Curtis -Thomas MP (Labour) wants to ban teenagers from buying lads’ mags. The Department of Health wants cigarettes to be sold under the counter. According to Labour, the state knows best : you need to be protected from yourself.

I don’t buy lads’ Mags. But what next? Outlaw fast car magazines? Outlaw political newsletters from the BNP or UKIP ? I don’t smoke. When I was 12 I illicitly smoked a few (the thrill !!!), had a good cough and never smoked again. Today it’s cigarettes which are to be sold under the counter. And tomorrow? Crisps? Belgian chocolates? Government prescribed diets for all? Compulsory daily veg intake?

New Labour, new tyranny. Resist! Click here for my blog on ConservativeHome.

THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS OF AUBERGINES

Europe will scrap exacting regulations about shapes and sizes of produce. It’s illegal to sell fruit which is “out of shape”. The Telegraph relates how food inspectors refused a market trader from Bristol to sell kiwis which were 1mm too large.

Ridiculous regulations relating to citrus fruit, apples, bananas, lettuces, peaches and nectarines, strawberries, sweet pepper, table grapes, pears and tomatoes remain in place. One Eurocrat said bananas will continue to have to be “free from abnormal curvature” as no complaints had been received. Do they read the press in Brussels?

One Eurocrat stated on the Today Programme that “supermarkets want these regulations”. It is not up to governments to second-guess what supermarkets want to sell.

An estimated 20 % of the British harvest is thrown away because it's not the rights shape – adding an estimated 40 % to the cost of, for example, carrots.

Northern European countries continue to enforce ridiculous regulations, which are happily ignored in the south.

For a good laugh, read the EU regulations on aubergines - click here.
