Andrew Brons MEP

Cameron’s empty promise on Lisbon Treaty is just to win votes

Posted on 06. Oct, 2009 by Martin Wingfield in Parliamentary Questions

THE unbridled euphoria of MEPs celebrating the ‘Yes’ vote in Ireland at Monday’s meeting of the Human Rights, Justice & Home Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, prompted Andrew Brons, the British National Party’s MEP for Yorkshire & the Humber, to pose a rhetorical question to his colleagues on the committee.

“I certainly do not want to spoil the celebratory atmosphere about the result of the Irish Referendum on the Lisbon Treaty but I must tell you that the British Conservative Party have implied strongly that they will attempt to renegotiate unspecified parts of the Lisbon Treaty if they should be elected to Government.

“Would this be possible, or is it simply an empty promise to win votes in the General Election?”
