Michel Rocard, a former Prime Minister of France (1988/91) has again become the latest French politician whose wish is that the UK should leave the EU ! The crime of the British is that they want to change Treaties rather than encourage the transfer of more powers to Brussels !
Britain is not alone. There are several other countries which also want EU "pioneers" to concentrate on rectifying Treaties instead of trying to introduce more idealistic principles.
The election of EU Members of Parliament (MEPs) will take place in the week ending Sunday, 25 May 2014. The main changes Nationalist Parties in several countries are proposing to voters are;
- More controle of Migration and Immigration,
- A revision of the powers of the Court of Human Rights,
- Changes in the Financial and Economic Golden Rules.
At the moment Opinion Polls seem to indicate that there will be many more new MEPs this time than after previous elections. Also, this time more voters will vote !
As Michel Rocard must certainly know, here in France the National Front are expected to make large gains; in Britain UKIP, who want Britain to leave the EU, may make some gains. David Cameron has clearly stated that the Conservatives want changes to Treaties. In Germany there are many who consider that the EUROZONE is a very costly experience...
The EU will probably change soon but not how Michel Rocard would like it to !
