Why bother to get elected as the governing party if all you want to do is to give the task of governing away to Brussels?
Why get into office, tax some small farms out of business, spend subsidies on getting farmers to stop growing food and then say your big idea is to export more food we do not grow to an EU that does not want it? Are they aware of our massive trade deficit in food with the EU and how the EU will want rules that boost their exports to us?
Why get into office, double up on net zero policies that lead to a big acceleration in the rate of closure of high energy using businesses, and why ban all new oil and gas developments at home? Why be so keen to sign up to even higher levels of carbon taxation and carbon tariffs on non EU imports, to put up the cost of living and and ensure the UK closes down more industry? Why is imported CO 2 OK but domestically produced less voluminous CO 2 not OK?
Why get into office by promising to smash the gangs that bring in so many illegal migrants, only to want to sign up to a Youth Scheme which will mean many more EU migrants coming to the UK to study at our expense under Erasmus or to seek homes and work here? Why pretend this is not a partial restoration of freedom of movement under EU approved rules?
Why say aligning us with EU laws – which means making us accept any EU law they care to impose – will increase our growth rate? It did not do so when we joined the EEC, nor when the single market was “completed” in 1992. More laws, more taxes and more Danegeld sent to the EU will not make us richer or generate more well paid jobs here.

Good morning.
They do it because they believe that they are serving a higher purpose, and that purpose is to bring about a Soviet style system of a command economy.
Of course they will say to themselves that it will be different this time.

Why? Because the Establishment’s intention is to make us an Associate Member of the EU when the structure of the EU is reformed after the Ukraine War. Two-Tier’s over-riding priority (as was Sunak’s) is to get us into a position where “our settlement” will be the blueprint for the other currently non-member countries they want in the outer tier, which Zelensky spelt out so clearly the other day: Ukraine, Turkey, Norway and the UK … I’m surprised he left out Iceland, but probably realised that it would be difficult to include little Iceland in his “military” argument.
Cameron made the initial proposal: a two-tier organisation consisting of Eurozone nations (EU) and non-Eurozone (Associate Members of the EU). Merkel rejected it, thinking we would never dare leave. Macron subsequently supported it.
The EU is constructed to create inter-dependence on the necessities for a nation to survive independently: energy, food, manufacturing and now defence. They are all the sectors which Two-Tier is deliberately wrecking, as a means to force us to accept rejoining.
Everything they are doing is deliberate …. as is shipping in the thousands of criminal migrants from France. We are “taking our fair share.”
