POLITICIANS AT ALL LEVELS PROTECT THEIR PERSONAL RIGHTS !

Whether politicians are at Local Council level or MEPs at the EU level, they all want to maintain their previously acquired rights. 

Presented like this, it appears to be normal, but not in the face of current depressive economical conditions where there is high unemployment, high social unrest and where almost every country is seeking new "taxable measures" to replenish state coffers !

EU or EUROZONE politicians always have the "medicine" to correct the wrongs of "National Economic" policies.  

The main proposal of EU politicians is to reduce the "overhead costs" of the civil service, which is needed to run any country's political strategies.  True, there are often cost reductions which could be easily obtained.

However, does the EU or the EUROZONE ever propose that its own overhead costs, that salaries etc and extras, like indexed pensions, should be reduced or even reviewed ?  Never !!!

Just two years ago, the remuneration of all EU deputies was increased;  the same salary level for "all" "MEPs" was decreed.  If that is not sufficient there are also "allowances" which can be claimed without any expense note justification being necessary !  

In fact this is what is called "the gravy train".  It is the high life with no questions asked !  The same esprit, spirit, exists at all National and Local levels ! 

All EU nations should tackle their Governments and MEPs to provoke a "rethink" on why EU costs are ever increasing.  If David Cameron and Britain want to provoke a revision of EU rules and Treaties, now is the time !
