<br />
<br />
From The Centre of European Politics:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://cep.rhul.ac.uk/cep-blog/2012/6/20/ukip-in-alliance-with-marine-le-pen-and-the-austrian-freedom.html">UKIP in alliance with Marine Le Pen and the Austrian Freedom Party</a><br />
<div class="body">
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">UKIP has always denied any alliance with the extreme right but here we
have the evidence. Godfrey Bloom MEP has set up a transnational party
with the </span><a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.frontnational.com/" rel="homepage" style="color: blue;" target="_blank" title="National Front (France)">French National Front</a><span style="color: blue;">, Austrian Freedom Party, and Flemish
Interest.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">
The </span><a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.eurallfree.org/" rel="homepage" style="color: blue;" target="_blank" title="European Alliance for Freedom">European Alliance for Freedom</a><span style="color: blue;"> (</span><a href="http://www.eurallfree.org/" style="color: blue;">www.eurallfree.org</a><span style="color: blue;">) received just under € 373,000 from the EU budget under the EU party statute in 2011:</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.europarl.europa.eu/pdf/grants/grant_amounts_parties.pdf" style="color: blue;">http://www.europarl.europa.eu/pdf/grants/grant_amounts_parties.pdf</a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">
The Alliance’s President is Godfrey Bloom, while other board members
include </span><a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_European_Parliament" rel="wikipedia" style="color: blue;" target="_blank" title="Member of the European Parliament">MEPs</a><span style="color: blue;"> from the Austrian Freedom Party and the Flemish extreme
right. The French National Front has revealed that both UKIP and Marine
Le Pen are members of the Alliance:</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.frontnational.com/2012/01/marine-le-pen-en-autriche/" style="color: blue;">http://www.frontnational.com/2012/01/marine-le-pen-en-autriche/</a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">
Here is a translation into English from the National Front’s press
release of 27 January 2012 – note the last sentence of the second
paragraph:</span><br />
<br />
<b style="color: blue;"><i>‘Marine Le Pen will visit Vienna this Friday 27 January at
the invitation of the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) and the European
Alliance for Freedom (EAF). She will meet various political figures as
well as the leaders of patriotic movements in Europe. She will then
proceed to the Austrian National Assembly where she will be received by
one its presidents as well as by the parliamentary group of the FPÖ.</i></b><br />
<br />
<b style="color: blue;"><i>‘Marine Le Pen joined the European Alliance for Freedom last
October. This pan-European platform was founded at the end of 2010 and
despite its opposition to the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="European Union">European Union</a> such as it is organised at
present, has been recognised by the European Parliament. The members of
this Alliance have come from the ranks of those movements engaged in the
patriotic and sovereignty struggles of our time. They include for
example the Austrian FPÖ of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz-Christian_Strache" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Heinz-Christian Strache">Heinz-Christian Strache</a>, the British UKIP of
Nigel Farage, as well as other movements coming from Sweden, Flanders,
Malta and elsewhere in the future.</i></b><br />
<br />
<b style="color: blue;"><i>‘The day will conclude with Marine Le Pen attending a ball
at the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=48.206507,16.365262&spn=0.01,0.01&q=48.206507,16.365262%20%28Hofburg%20Palace%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Hofburg Palace">Hofburg Imperial Palace</a> in Vienna at the invitation of
Heinz-Christian Strache, president of the FPÖ.’</i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">
If further proof of the EAF's far right politics were needed here we
have a Flemish poster from its website showing a white sheep expelling a
Turkish and Moroccan sheep from Flanders:</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.eurallfree.org/sites/default/files/VB-leaflet.pdf" style="color: blue;" target="_blank">http://www.eurallfree.org/sites/default/files/VB-leaflet.pdf</a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">
Clearly UKIP has some explaining to do. Perhaps the BBC and British
political class should apply the same cordon sanitaire to UKIP as
applies to the BNP. Should a party that forms transnational alliances
with Marine Le Pen and the Austrian Freedom Party not be ostracised?</span><br />

<u><b>ADDITION on 04-Jul-2012:</b></u></div>
<br />
Today I felt it apposite to comment on The CEP (Center for EUropean Politics) web site, from whence the article abouve was sourced, my comment has been published:<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<div class="comment" id="preview">
<div class="body" id="item">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Hi,</b><br />
<br />
<b>surely no one believes UKIP rhetoric that it is NOT
racist, anti Jewish, anti homosexual, self serving, self obsessed,
bullying, corrupt and dishonest if not in all aspects at very least by
its close associations.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Let us not forget that its only notable
politician the media performer Nigel Farage leads The EFD Group in The
EU which is not even in favour of withdrawal but in favour of reform of
The EU!</b><br />
<br />
<b>Then again is it reasonable to define Farage as leader
when he so clearly lacks strategy, tactics or vision and UKIP is very
much under his control as a one man band rather than led by him.</b><br />
<b>To
be fair Farage has put UKIP where it is but in doing so has fallen out
with almost half his MEPs and despite placing individuals on his NEC has
had some spectacular rows in removing those who slipped through and
then demanded transparency and accountability, probity and ethics from
his management claque.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Perhaps if UKIP is ever to have a
meaningful future now is the time for Farage - also a failed banker - to
follow the example of Bob Diamond & The Barclays Bank Chairman and
fall on his sword.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Even partyed from his money stream as leader
Farage would still have a role to play where he at least shows some
ability as an entertainer and media bufoon!</b><br />

<b>A furious row has flared after it emerged that approval
has been granted to the formation of an alliance of seven European
<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right_politics" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Far-right politics">extreme right wing</a> political parties.</b><br /><br />These include the
British National Party (BNP), which had two <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_European_Parliament" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Member of the European Parliament">MEPs</a> elected in the last
<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_the_European_Union" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Elections in the European Union">European elections</a>, the French Front National and Hungary's Jobbik.<br /><br />The
new pan-European grouping, called the "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliance_of_European_National_Movements" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Alliance of European National Movements">Alliance of European Nationalist
Movements</a>", will qualify for a reported €289,266 of EU taxpayers'
money.<br /><br />The AENM may also qualify for more European money next year.<br /><br />News of the new group emerged on Thursday at parliament's plenary in Strasbourg.<br /><br />Formal
approval for the new group was given at a meeting on Monday by
parliament's bureau, which comprises the assembly's president and vice
presidents.<br /><br />Reaction to the news was swift, with UK S&D member Claude Moraes, calling for a 'boycott' of the new group.<br /><br />He
said, "It's a shameful week for democracy in Europe. Let's hope this
also will be a rallying cry for anti-fascists throughout the EU to work
harder together to stop the pan-European far right."<br /><br />He said,
"There are pan-European alliances of political parties from the centre
right Christian Democrats through to the Greens, including the Party of
European Socialists which includes the British Labour Party as a member,
and we all respect one another's differences and work together.<br /><br />"I hope that none of the other parties work with this alliance of racists and neo-fascists.<br /><br />"Two
BNP MEPs were elected at the last European elections in 2009 and they
are now in a close alliance with the Front National in France, who may
achieve success in the French presidential elections in the summer, and
Jobbik which has been a government coalition partner in Hungary.<br /><br />"There
are very strict rules about how this political funding can be spent.
These include respect for democracy and human rights. We will keep a
very close eye to make sure this new grouping stick to the rules.<br /><br />"This
is why we believe this decision is wrong, and we will closely monitor
how this neo-fascist grouping spends their money," Moraes said.<br /><br />The
BNP failed to form an alliance of far right MEPs in parliament, but it
was decided by the institution that this did not preclude them from
forming a pan-<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_political_party" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="European political party">European political party</a>.<br /><br />Further comment came from
Edward McMillan-Scott, a vice president of parliament, who said the
establishment of the new group gave "cause for real concern".<br /><br />The
UK ALDE deputy added, "I have been tracking the rise of the far right
for a few years and in the last European elections we saw the rise of
far right parties in ten of member states.<br /><br />"The formation of this
new group is further proof that these groups have been collaborating
since that time and will present a joint platform at the next elections
in 2014."</blockquote>

Hi,<br />
<br />
my thanks to Barbara Booker for her, as ever, faultless research - It would seem that Marine LePen is now something of a mover and shaker in Godfrey Bloom's extremist EU Political Party grouping!<br />
<br />
Strange when one considers the irrefutable FACT that UKIP members unequivocally voted against UKIP being a part of such EU Groupings but I guess it is fair to say 'since when did UKIP leadership give a damn about democracy integrity or the members'!<br />

The party is based in Malta (although it has no Maltese politicians amongst its membership), and its representative on the island is one <span>Isabelle Sammut. Ms Sammut is the daughter of Joe Sammut, a Maltese socialist and former treasurer of the Maltese Labour Party. Mr Sammut nailed his colours to the mast when he stated <em><strong>"Everyone agrees that the EU was a very positive development."</strong> </em>Mr Sammut's business practices at the moment include helping immigrants obtain Maltese residency so that they can enjoy <em><strong>"Freedom of movement within EU</strong>".</em> He can also help you set up a business in Libya where he boasts of long years of success.

<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
let none of us forget that Godfrey Bloom was elected as a member of UKIP and that UKIP members have voted 2 to 1 CONCLUSIVELY against its <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_European_Parliament" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Member of the European Parliament">MEPs</a> being members of Pan EU Political Party Groups - Yet Godfrey Bloom is in flagrant disregard being President of One to get himself extra money and a member of another thus lining the pocket of his chum Nigel Farage.<br />
<br />
Bloom is himself President of The Pan EU Alliance for Freedom, which is very much alive - it has a website, it has a photograph of presumably UKIP members gathered behind a great banner with UKIP's logo underneath its own, and claims: "The EAF participated in a call by the British people, demanding a referendum". That's hardly 'history'. It was only the day before yesterday!<br />
<br />
They demean UKIP and their respective Pan EU Groupings by making such claims! <br />
<br />
<br />
As to be fair it is hard to see what Bloom's Groups - either The EFD or The PEUAF had to do with the 125,000 signature put to Parliament by <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.yourmep.org/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Nikki Sinclaire">Nikki Sinclaire</a> can be belatedly claimed as part of their remit when both Godfrey Bloom and Nigel Farage have received a Court JUDGEMENT against them for their dishonesty and abuse of Nikki Sinclaire seemingly doing almost all they could to aid The EU by effectively trying to sabotage the Petition campaign for a Referendum which won the right to a debate in Westminster and the momentous step forward towards leaving the EU.<br />
<br />
What is now essential is to follow up this victory by concentrating on doing the job that UKIP was elected to do in the first place - NOT act as an enrichment source for a small claque forming UKIP Leadership and its parasites.<br />
<br />
<br />
The job UKIP should have done long ago but is clearly incapable of and thus unfit for purpose is to provide an Exit & Survival Strategy for these United Kingdoms from The EU and educate through training programmes of its members the entire British and Northern Irish electorate in both the benefits AND the reassurance that we can and will suffer no damage nor risk in leaving The EU and repatriating our democracy and restoring our Sovereign Independence as a global trading nation.<br />
<br />
One wonders if Bloom's PEP will qualify for 2012 funding and will therefore be gone after the end of this year? That's quite possible. In fact with the vile specimens in UKIP's Pan EU Political Party EFD one wonders how it can survive as clearly it is only held together for the enrichment of the few rather than based upon either the principles, ethics or interests of the many!<br />
<br />
We note the extremism, racism, anti Judaism and abuse of homosexuals of Farage's personal cash cow the EFD; also that the Hungarian MEP Krisztina Morvai left the PEUAF at the end of July claiming 'differences' with the Austrian Freedom Party, but which possibly had more to do with the fact that she was also a member of another PEP, the AENM, and funding rules prohibit MEPs from belonging to more than one.<br />
<br />
On this count alone one wonders how Bloom passes muster!<br />
<br />
Her departure from the PEUAF may well also have left the group short of elected representation in the required minimum seven member states. The EFD would also be hovering around failure on the basis of numbers - although more than enough sordid people live off the EU as elected representatives to the scam not to mention its self serving apparatchiks and over paid over blown demie gods - it seems there are inadequate to sustain more than one extremist group without their falling out on a regular basis, seemingly over their levels of hatred and abuse where self interest in money seems their only real motivation!<br />
<br />
Can anyone advise where a listing of these grubby little scams has managed to put in a funding application for next year?<br />
<br />

<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
here is another series of informed comment from Barbara Booker a well informed UKIP observer and one time member of UKIP, who wasnot, so I understand, prepared to renew her membership of UKIP due to its low calliber of leadership, lack of vision a strategy and an exit and survival strategy - also its unprofessionalism and ncorrupt self serving nature of many of its elected officials and their appointed staff. <br />
<blockquote><blockquote><div style="color: blue;">I see that <b><a href="http://eualliance.blogspot.com/2011/10/godfrey-bloom-clearly-acts-against.html">Junius</a></b> has drawn attention to the fact that despite UKIP members voting overwhelmingly against their MEPs joining a pan-European political party, Godfrey Bloom not only continues to serve as President of the European Alliance for Freedom but has set up its UK office at The Loft, Vicarage Cottage, Wressle, Selby, YO8 6ET.<br />
<br />
The absurdity of Nigel Farage trying to make capital out of the referendum motion (<a href="http://www.ukip.org/content/latest-news/2520-blind-panic-in-downing-street" target="_blank">Blind panic in Downing Street - UK Independence Party</a>) - "We know from many polls that a vast majority of people want this referendum" - while one of the MEPs he leads is permitted to disregard the expressed wishes of a vast majority of party members, will not be lost on UKIP. If Godfrey Bloom wants to continue his association with the EAF he can comply with the UKIP poll result by resigning his MEPship. Why hasn't the so-called whip been withdrawn from him for not doing so?<br />
<br />
It's not only the insult of being ignored that should concern members who voted against joining a PEP. The EAF is clearly trying to associate itself with UKIP via its website <a href="http://www.eurallfree.org/" target="_blank">European Alliance for Freedom</a>, with the UKIP logo featuring prominently opposite the EAF logo on a leaflet displayed on the home page. Below this, the link to the EAF's Foundation leads to an extraordinary piece of 'research' posted in the Documents section.<br />
<br />
'Roll Call Votes January - July 2010', is introduced as a report "analyzing how UKIP MEPs voted during the period of January 2010 until July 2010 in comparison to the members of the European Alliance for Freedom", and purports to show that EAF members "perceive most of the issues of the European Union in the same way as members of UKIP do". By a ludicrous piece of figure fiddling EAF researchers claim that on a high percentage of occasions "there were always MEPs from EAF who voted in Favour/against or Abstained in exactly the same way UKIP members did".<br />
<br />
This is meaningless, since the EAF did not then exist and its future members voted independently of each other, spreading their votes across all three available options. With future EAFs often voting For, Against and/or Abstain on the same occasion, one or more of them could hardly avoid voting the same way as UKIP! <br />
<br />
For instance, 14 roll-call votes from January 2010 were analysed. No UKIP MEP voted in favour of any of them, whereas between 1 and 7 future EAFs voted in favour on 12 occasions. UKIP voted against on 8 occasions, with varying numbers of EAFs also voting against on 5 of those. In 13 of the 14 votes UKIP members all voted the same way, with only 1 breaking ranks to abstain on 1 occasion. By contrast, future EAF members all voted the same way on only 3 of the 14 occasions (in each case opposite to UKIP), with their votes split between For and Against on 5 occasions and between 1 and 4 abstaining on 9 occasions. Yet the EAF claims these figures represent 86% votes in common between UKIP and EAF in January!<br />
<br />
There are two aspects of this which should concern UKIP members. First, why was the analysis produced at all if not falsely to persuade UKIP that EAF MEPs are fellow travellers who think and vote the same way as UKIP? They are not. As can clearly be seen from the tables, they don't even think and vote the same way as each other! Even now, with the EAF established, they still vote against each other and against UKIP, as can be seen from the latest roll-call votes to appear on the EP website <a href="http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//NONSGML+PV+20111013+RES-RCV+DOC+PDF+V0//EN&language=EN" target="_blank">http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/...EN&language=EN</a>, those of 13 October. <br />
<br />
Secondly, if this ridiculous analysis is an example of the quality of research produced by the EAF's Foundation, it will become a laughing stock amongst those who stumble across it. Remember how Stuart Agnew assured members that joining a PEP would give them a Think Tank (Foundation) that would enable them to "match the likes of Open Europe and the Tories in producing high quality research and policy proposals . . . a Think Tank will help UKIP to punch above its weight and mix it with the Old Parties at an entirely new level". <br />
<br />
Not on this showing it wouldn't have! How very fortunate that UKIP members didn't allow themselves to be conned. <br />
<br />
They should remain vigilant, however</div></blockquote></blockquote><div class="zemanta-pixie" style="height: 15px; margin-top: 10px;"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=4781ad58-198d-4520-844e-e72d317849cf" style="border: medium none; float: right;" /></a></div>Greg_L-W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03702733467535493491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449936338336086901.post-56699229654352696722011-10-20T08:48:00.013+01:002011-10-22T10:48:22.305+01:00Godfrey BLOOM Clearly acts against the wishes of UKIP's National MembershipGodfrey BLOOM Clearly acts against the wishes of UKIP's National Membership<br />

<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>The EAF advocates the right of individuals and peoples to freedom and selfdetermination. </strong><strong>Its main objective is to safeguard and strengthen fundamental democratic principles and accountable representation towards effective individual and national freedom.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>It therefore commits itself to the following objectives:</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>• to campaign for a non-centralised, transparent, flexible and democratically controlled EU towards the rejection of any development leading to a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Europe" rel="wikipedia" title="Federal Europe">European superstate</a>, given that there is no such thing as a ‘single European people’;</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>• to pursue true subsidiarity and selfrule ensuring that democracy is preserved on the basis of sovereign </strong><strong>parliaments in Member States, over which the citizens exercise democratic control;</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>• to sustain diversity and accountable cooperation at a European level among free peoples able to regulate </strong><strong>themselves in accordance with mutually agreed common standards;</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>• to uphold freedom of political expression and association across Europe and especially within the structures of the EU;</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>• to promote a political environment in which movements, political parties and other political organisations </strong><strong>are given equal opportunities to voice their concerns and advance their political positions;</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>• to ensure that the peoples and nations of Europe are allowed to pursue their right to strengthen their own historical, traditional, religious and cultural values to defend civil liberties and ensure that no characteristics of a totalitarian nature emerge in the continuing political development of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union" rel="wikipedia" title="European Union">European Union</a>, while identifying </strong><strong>already existing anti-democratic legislation with an aim to revoke it.</strong><br />

<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
one is inclined to speculate as to whether this PEPP is still legitimate in the light of the comments of Barbara Booker.<br />
<br />
It is also worth noting that <a href="http://efd-eu.blogspot.com/">The EFD group</a> is teetering on the edge of collapse as the 3 UKIP <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_European_Parliament" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Member of the European Parliament">MEPs</a> of any visible morality and integrity have quit the extremist group wishing to stand as Unattached in The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="European Union">EU's</a> so called parliament rather than be seen to be associated with the extremism, racism, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Antisemitism">anti Jewish</a> and anti homosexual pro EU membership and some of its particularly vile members.<br />
<br />
With the rejection of an offer from Farage, in an attempt to regain the numbers and nationalities required for their continuance the small group of Dutch MEPs have recently rejected the offer rather than be shackled to the vile <a href="http://efd-eu.blogspot.com/">EFD group</a>.<br />
<br />
This would seem to leave The Pan EU Alliance for Freedom (EAF) in competition, if expansion or even stabilisation is required, fishing in the same filthy pond with the same bottom feeders on offer to both - The BNP, Vlams Belang, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.jobbik.hu/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Jobbik">Jobbik</a> or perhaps The Austrians from what was Jorg Heyder's Party, which is best known for his death in a car crash, or the extreme right wing Nationalist Le Pen family party in France.<br />
<br />
Any of these may well be suited to join the extremist groups but it will be a dual of egos and greed by the look of it!<br />
<br />
As Barbara Booker said earlier today:<br />
<blockquote><div style="color: blue;">Before getting too deeply into discussion about the statutes of the EAF, it might be an idea to check with Godfrey Bloom whether that party has already collapsed.<br />
<br />
When its website first went live it listed under 'About EAF', seven EU countries - the minimum number required for a PEPP - from which its members were drawn. It now states only six, the missing one being Hungary.<br />
<br />
This may or may not be significant. Certainly, small PEPPs like the EAF are very vulnerable, especially when one or more of their qualifying members is from a national parliament or assembly where national elections could deprive them of their seats at any time. However, the EAF's Hungarian representative is/was the MEP <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krisztina_Morvai" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Krisztina Morvai">Krisztina Morvai</a>, a controversial figure (<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/nov/15/krisztina-morvai-london-conference-ban%20and" target="_blank">BNP's European parliament ally Krisztina Morvai axed from London conference after protests | Politics | The Observer</a> <a href="http://www.politics.hu/20090605/outrage-over-obscene-antisemitic-internet-post-by-morvai/" target="_blank">Outrage over obscene anti-Semitic Internet post by Morvai | Politics.hu</a>) who may still be a member, though airbrushed from the website possibly to avoid alarming UKIP members about to vote on whether their MEPs should join her in the EAF! <br />
<br />
Wikipedia, updated four days ago, still has her as a EAF member, and she gave interviews on 3 and 5 July (see <a href="http://www.hungarianambiance.com/" target="_blank">Hungarian Ambiance</a>) confirming her membership and claiming that she was invited by the EAF to join it. This is odd, since Wiki also has the three Jobbik MEPs, of which she is one, as members of the Alliance of European National Movements, a pan-European party which the BNP claims will qualify for a PEPP grant from January 2012 <a href="http://www.bnp.org.uk/news/jobbik-%E2%80%93-nationalist-success-story-despite-state-persecution" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jobbik</a>. I don't think MEPs are allowed to belong to more than one grant-claiming PEPP at a time. <br />
<br />
No doubt Godfrey Bloom can clarify Dr Morvai's current membership status, although bearing in mind her alliance with the BNP and Bloom's own unequivocal condemnation of association with that party (press release 'UKIP smash BNP plot and expel infiltrators' 5.2.04: Bloom, "Their views will simply not be tolerated within UKIP"), he might have some difficulty explaining how he came to be forming a PEPP with her in the first place!</div></blockquote>It is also worthy of note that it is rather fudging the figures for Farage's squalid <a href="http://efd-eu.blogspot.com/">EFD Group</a> if Bloom is offering his name to keep it going whilst in bed with the new extreme grouping.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
in answer to a morally reprehensible question attempting to support the adulation of Japanese War Criminals The Yasukuni Barbara Booker, a long term and meticulously informed and reliable UKIP commentator stated earlier today on a public Forum:<br />
<blockquote><div style="color: blue;">Possibly so, but UKIP members have no influence over the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Italy" rel="wikipedia" title="Politics of Italy">Italian government</a>, Communist ministers or the British establishment. They do have a vote in deciding their own party's future, though, and Bloom is paving the way into the pan-<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union" rel="wikipedia" title="European Union">EU</a> party that UKIP will be joining if members vote as Nigel Farage, Stuart Agnew and others want.<br />

As <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_of_directors" rel="wikipedia" title="Board of directors">Board members</a> of the European Alliance for Freedom, Bloom, Claeys and Obermayr are officers of their party with responsibility for shaping and implementing its political course. The beliefs and political background of those running the EAF will to a large extent determine how that party is viewed by the media, and therefore the electorate.<br />
<br />
If UKIP members vote 'FOR' in the coming ballot they will, although most won't be aware of it, be giving the go-ahead for UKIP to join the FPO, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.vlaamsbelang.org/" rel="homepage" title="Vlaams Belang">Vlaams Belang</a> and others in the EAF. This will be a much greater degree of association than having just their <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_European_Parliament" rel="wikipedia" title="Member of the European Parliament">MEPs</a> join a parliamentary group such as the EFD. All UKIP members will be allied to these other EAF parties and their efforts to win the support of British voters for UKIP and for EU withdrawal is bound to be affected by the way in which the EAF and its officers are perceived.<br />
<br />
The enshrinement of executed Japanese war criminals at Yasukuni has been the cause of controversy in the far East for twenty-five years, with the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_of_Japan" rel="wikipedia" title="Emperor of Japan">Japanese Emperor</a> refusing to visit the shrine and Japanese politicians strongly criticized for doing so. Claeys and Obermayr were not making private visits, they went as representatives of their parties at an international conference whose organisers had arranged the visit for delegates to "honour" the dead.<br />
<br />
Possibly UKIP supporters of the generation that had fathers and brothers suffer in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps would not regard Godfrey Bloom's association with these people as a pretty harmless matter. <br />
<br />
They might well be outraged at the prospect of UKIP entering into an alliance with them.</div></blockquote>It is good to see, as we watch the morality and integrity of self serving politicians increasingly providing a lead only to the gutter in return for votes.<br />
<br />
Votes to keep their snouts in the troughs on the gravy train, to fund hirelings and gofers to act as their paid liars and praise singers to see people like Barbara Booker, with a firm grasp on morality and the willingness to speak out in public in defence of ethical behaviour, and condemnation of self serving betrayal.<br />
<br />
I do and have regularly endorsed her well supported opinions as expressed from time to time.<br />

<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
this is a posting on a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_%28legal%29" rel="wikipedia" title="Forum (legal)">public Forum</a> by <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrina_Holdsworth" rel="wikipedia" title="Petrina Holdsworth">Petrina holdsworth</a> a past <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chairman" rel="wikipedia" title="Chairman">Chairman</a> of UKIP and a retired Barrister of considerable experience.<br />
<br />
I post it in good faith as information - information that in the main I have made elsewhere and in different terms but largely agree with.<br />
<br />
Doesn't any intelligent and honest Patriot?<br />
<blockquote><div style="color: blue;">I had a look at the EAF`s website .It is remarkably succinct for anything to do with the EU,which has to be in its favour ,there is however a lack of detail as to its activities.<br />
I took this quote from the website.<br />
<br />
"Freedom and prosperity can only be sustained as long as <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_democracy" rel="wikipedia" title="Liberal democracy">constitutional democracy</a> is preserved, and this can only happen as long as parliaments in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_state_of_the_European_Union" rel="wikipedia" title="Member state of the European Union">Member States</a> are relevant to the lives of the people they represent. <br />
<br />
In the understanding that ‘a single European people’ – a European Demos – does not exist and can not be created through forceful or legislative means, the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union" rel="wikipedia" title="European Union">European Union</a> can only naturally exist as a non-centralised, flexible, cooperation framework where free <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_Europe" rel="wikipedia" title="Ethnic groups in Europe">European peoples</a> coordinate their efforts towards their mutual benefit in accordance with mutually agreed common standards.<br />
<br />
This framework alone ensures the preservation of constitutional democracy in Europe, where democratic and free society can flourish diversely within a European family of free nations."<br />
<br />
It all sounds pretty good doesn`t it ? Apart from the fact that all of the participating countries in the EU have lost their right to make their own laws in a great number of areas and we are all subserviant to Brussels and its court of Justice(never was a word so misused ),and we pay extortionate amounts of money into a thoroughly corrupt system to keep ourselves in servitude.So much for constitutional democracy ,that disappeared years ago ,only the shroud remains.<br />
<br />
Sadly this lot are whistling in the wind and they know it .</div><div style="color: blue;"><br />

<br />
<span style="color: dimgrey;"><strong>Board Members:</strong></span><br />

<br />
board members of the EAF is Franz Obermayr of the Austrian FPO. <br />
<br />
Mr Obermayr was photographed last year standing alongside <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.frontnational.com/" rel="homepage" title="National Front (France)">French National Front</a> leaders <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Marie_Le_Pen" rel="wikipedia" title="Jean-Marie Le Pen">Jean-Marie Le Pen</a> and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.gollnisch.com/" rel="homepage" title="Bruno Gollnisch">Bruno Gollnisch</a> when, with Philip Claeys, Adam Walker of the BNP and others, they visited a Japanese shrine that honours convicted war criminals!<br />

<br />
I wonder how this will go down with some of those who voted for <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_European_Parliament" rel="wikipedia" title="Member of the European Parliament">MEPs</a> who join this seemingly extremist group!<br />
<br />
I doubt UKIP's older members and supporters will be any too pleased to see Godfrey Bloom with such odious people. Then again who would want to be associated with Godfrey Bloom and many of his vile habits copulating in the street with prostitutes, urinating in hotel corridors and the like!<br />
<br />
Exactly how entering into political alliance with Claeys and Obermayr & The EAF is going to help get Britain out of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union" rel="wikipedia" title="European Union">EU</a> seems rather obscure!<br />

<br />
She said in a statement that the EU should be able to spare a billion euros towards effectively solving the problem.<br />
<br />
Ms. Ellul Bonici welcomed Libya's proposal for a $1 billion in EU aid in exchange for collaboration to stem illegal immigration.<br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #6600cc;">"Some people are saying this is blackmail on Libya's part, but I don't see it that way. Combating illegal immigration is costly. The EU should take this opportunity and make sure it paves the way towards a readmission agreement with Libya,"</span></em></strong> Ms. Ellul Bonici added.<br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #6600cc;">"Then it should strengthen Frontex in order to patrol the EU border and deal with the whole process itself - from asylum applications to readmission and reallocation...íf it takes another billion towards solving this problem it would be a billion well spent"</span></em></strong> she concluded.<br />
<br />
Now we might argue that such political naiveté is a charming little cameo of an island on which compulsory schooling is a relatively new concept. However it is not something that we in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.5,-0.116666666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=51.5,-0.116666666667%20%28United%20Kingdom%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="United Kingdom">UK</a> might welcome, and in particular the centre-right membership of UKIP might wonder why a UKIP MEP is employing a person who subscribes to such left-wing views. It is the case that UKIP's resident clown, Godfrey Bloom, who left the financial services industry in disgrace after attracting a whopping great fine for his company, is indeed employing Ms. Ellul Bonici as the nominal secretary of Nigel Farage's latest money-spinning pan-European initiative. Of course, this is not a decision that Bloom would have reached on his own - he is Farage's ho, and he does as he is told.<br />

<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
<br />
may I take the lioberty of pointing out just how glibly Sharon Ellul - BONICI uses the term <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euroscepticism" rel="wikipedia" title="Euroscepticism">EUroRealist</a>!<br />
<br />
Mrs. ELLUL is clearly, from her own comments, pro EU membership and NOT a withdrawalist - it is interesting to note that <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.godfreybloommep.co.uk/" rel="homepage" title="Godfrey Bloom">Godfrey Bloom</a> as a UKIP MEP was elected on the claims that he was a withdrawalist and wished to represent the views of those who wished to leave.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now I note Godfrey Bloom is no longer interested in leaving The EU but supports Mrs. Sharon Ellul - BONICI who has said:<br />
<br />
<div class="Body_inside" style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>On the EU referendum</b></span></div><div class="Body_inside" style="color: blue;">Five years ago, the people were faced with an option: either to join the EU, or not to join.

Hi,<br />
perhaps Ms. Bonici would care to assist Barboo with some answers to the questions below - if Ms. Bonici would care to mail me at Greg_L-W@BTconnect.com or phone me on 01291 - 62 65 62 to provide some clarification I will be only too happy to publish her response, to broadcast her reply to a wider audience.<br />
Here are a few questions from Barboo: <br />
<blockquote><div style="color: blue;">Those who promote joining a pan-European party as a means of acquiring large amounts of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union" rel="wikipedia" title="European Union">EU</a> <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funding" rel="wikipedia" title="Funding">funding</a> are careful to avoid mentioning the cost attached to membership of such a party before this funding can be accessed. What will the membership fee amount to, and how will it be calculated? As a percentage of UKIP members' existing party subscriptions? As an extra sum levied on members? Or by some other formula?<br />
Certainly there will have to be some contribution from UKIP if it decides to join the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Alliance" rel="wikipedia" title="European Alliance">European Alliance</a>. EU regulations stipulate that a maximum 85% of an EU-party's <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget" rel="wikipedia" title="Budget">budget</a> can be provided by EU funding, but the remaining 15% must be contributed by the party itself from other sources. Those sources are not allowed to include donations from EP political groups or donations above 12,000 euros from any individual supporter, so, depending on how much EU funding the European Alliance qualifies for, a further sum will have to be provided by the national parties which make up the Alliance. <br />
How much of this sum will have to be contributed by UKIP depends on whether it is divided equally between the constituent parties. That seems unlikely, as it would be disproportionate for an organisation such as <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=52.5166666667,13.3833333333&spn=10.0,10.0&q=52.5166666667,13.3833333333%20%28Germany%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="Germany">Germany</a>'s tiny Stroppy Citizens' Party (BiW) to have to pay as much as a party with thousands of members and several <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_European_Parliament" rel="wikipedia" title="Member of the European Parliament">MEPs</a>. As the Alliance member with the largest number of MEPs UKIP could reasonably expect to have to contribute the lion's share of a minimum 15% of the Alliance's total budget.<br />
'Minimum' because EU regulations allow the constituent parties to provide up to 40% of their EU party budget, thus enabling parties that qualify for only a relatively small amount of funding to supply from their own resources the rest of what they need to operate on an EU-wide scale. The European Alliance would get an equal share with other EU parties of 15% of the total EU funding pot, and a share of the remaining 85% in proportion to the number of MEPs it has, so as one of the smaller parties it is likely that it would have to contribute nearer 40% of its budget itself. How much of that would be required from UKIP?</div></blockquote><div class="zemanta-related"><h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em; margin: 1em 0pt 0pt;">Related articles</h6><ul class="zemanta-article-ul"><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.leftfootforward.org/2010/10/nigel-farage-control-freak/">Farage is a "control freak" says fellow UKIP MEP</a> (leftfootforward.org)</li>

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt;">The following notes have been sent to me by Mr. Richard Teather, senior lecturer in tax law at Bournemouth University, to whom I am most grateful. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="border: 2.25pt solid rgb(153, 0, 153); padding: 1pt 4pt;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: medium none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: medium none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: medium none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;">1) Pan-European political parties (or “Europarties”) are meant to be funded "from the general budget of the European Union", although funds are actually administered by the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=48.597512,7.769092&spn=0.01,0.01&q=48.597512,7.769092%20%28European%20Parliament%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="European Parliament">European Parliament</a>.<br />
<br />
2) Europarties are alliances of national political parties. Although theoretically individuals could join a Europarty directly, they generally do not.<br />
<br />
3) Europarties overlap with, but are different from, the "groups" within the European Parliament. (Thus, before 1999 the Conservative Party was not a member of the European People's <i>Party </i>as a Europarty, but it was a member of the EPP <i>Group</i> within the European Parliament.)<br />
<br />
4) The party must meet various conditions to be approved as a “Europarty”, the main ones being:<br />
a) it must have political representation (at MEP, MP or regional assembly level) in at least a quarter of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_State_of_the_European_Union" rel="wikipedia" title="Member State of the European Union">EU Member States</a> [i.e., in seven states];<br />
b) it must "observe, in particular in its programme and in its activities, the principles on which the European Union is founded, namely the principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law"; and<br />
c) it must "have participated in elections to the European Parliament, or have expressed the intention to do so".<br />
<br />
5) Funding of 10.6 million euros per year* is available and to be shared between all the recognised Europarties. Some funding (1.6 million euros) goes equally to each recognised Europarty, but the remaining 9 million euros is divided up according to the number of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_European_Parliament" rel="wikipedia" title="Member of the European Parliament">MEPs</a> each Europarty has. It is therefore very valuable for a Europarty to have MEP members. At a rough calculation, each MEP member must be worth almost 15,000 euros p.a. to the Europarty. (* The number relates to 2008 and is probably much higher in 2011.)<br />
<br />
6) Restrictions are imposed on what a Europarty can do with its funds. In particular funds can only be used for pan-European campaigns, not for "direct or indirect funding of national political parties or candidates", and funds cannot be used "to finance referenda campaigns". </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: medium none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;"><br />
7) Additional funding of 5 million euros (again, the figure relates to 2008) for European “foundations” where “foundations” are think-tanks linked to each Europarty.<br />
<br />
8) A Europarty based on the current EFD group (which has 32 members) would get funding of almost 600,000 euros p.a. plus funding of around 250,000 euros for an associated "foundation". <span lang="EN" style="color: #990099;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: medium none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt;">These notes make sense given what I have heard elsewhere about the funding of pan-European political parties, but raise further questions. In fact, the whole subject is puzzling. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt;">On the face of it, the EFD group would pick up a little under one million euros a year if all its constituent parties – including the UK Independence Party – decided to form a Europarty. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #990099;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #990099;">Frankly, this is chickenfeed relative to </span></span></div><div class="ListParagraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 54pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -36pt;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #990099; font-size: 12pt;">i.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN" style="color: #990099; font-size: 12pt;">the larger issues raised by the UK’s membership of the European Union and </span></div><div class="ListParagraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 54pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -36pt;"><span lang="EN" style="color: #990099; font-size: 12pt;">ii.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN" style="color: #990099; font-size: 12pt;">the sums of money routinely discussed in British political fund-raising. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN" style="color: #990099; font-size: 12pt;">I am astonished that anyone involved in the leadership of UKIP could want to convert the party into a Europarty for such a trivial amount. </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt;">True enough, the basis of allocation between the notional Europarties is such as to encourage “groups” to convert themselves into “Europarties”. The European Union imposes a limit on the total that can be spent on Europarties. In other words, the trough has only a finite amount of swill inside it. <b><span style="color: #990099;">If one group in the European Parliament does not convert itself into a Europarty (such as the proposed “European Alliance”), the amount of swill available for the other groups (i.e., those which do convert themselves) is higher than would otherwise be the case.</span></b> Hence, the two sentences in the Bonici e-mail, “</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The European Alliance will help parties dissiminate [sic – she meant ‘disseminate’] information by using European funds available to us, and if we don't apply the other Parties/Alliances such as the PES, EPP, Greens etc... will have the money which is allocated to us to share between them. Basically it is like giving ammunition to your enemy for free.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Nevertheless, it remains unclear to me what advantage UKIP would get from belonging to a Europarty such as the proposed “European Alliance”. The 600,000 euros (plus or minus 250,000 euros) could <b>not </b>be used for a specifically British political purpose in this country, but must instead be part of a pan-European political programme of some sort. <b><span style="color: #990099;">Since the UK Independence Party is the only significant political force in the European Parliament committed to its nation’s withdrawal from the EU, how could such a pan-European political programme be to UKIP’s benefit? </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Interestingly, Europarty money cannot be used for the purposes of promoting referendums. Indeed, this seems to be specifically identified as an unacceptable destination of Europarty money. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">There is an obvious - indeed hilarious – discrepancy between item 6 in Richard Teather’s notes above, and item 4, with its assertion that the EU “is founded” on “the principles of liberty, <b><span style="color: red;">democracy</span></b>, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law". <b><span style="color: red;">Democracy?</span></b> <b><span style="color: #990099;">Oh, yes, the EU is founded on the principle of democracy, until Europe’s peoples vote against further European integration. When any of Europe’s peoples vote that way, the EU and its related “political class” ignores their democratic verdicts. Remember how the EU’s politicians and bureaucrats overrode referendum results in Ireland, France, the Netherlands, etc. </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Since any money arising from Europarty status cannot be used to promote UKIP in the UK, I cannot see any purpose in seeking Europarty status. <b><span style="color: #990099;">My view is that UKIP should have nothing to do with Europarties. </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

Included in the memo is an e-mail from a Sharon Ellul Bonici stating that the European Alliance hopes to become strong in the 2014 Euro-elections, and that <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_European_Parliament" rel="wikipedia" title="Member of the European Parliament">MEPs</a> can join either as a Party or as individuals. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.godfreybloommep.co.uk/" rel="homepage" title="Godfrey Bloom">Godfrey Bloom</a> is listed among those who have confirmed their intention of doing so.<br />
<br />
UKIP MEPs sought election on an unequivocal platform of withdrawal from the EU. It is what party members and supporters worked for, contributed funds for, and what the electorate voted for. 'Campaign policies <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament_election%2C_2009" rel="wikipedia" title="European Parliament election, 2009">Euro elections 2009</a>', posted to UKIP's website on 8 May 2009, stated: "The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.5,-0.116666666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=51.5,-0.116666666667%20%28United%20Kingdom%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="United Kingdom">UK</a> Independence Party believes that the UK should withdraw from the European Union". 'Campaign letter from UKIP Leader <a href="http://farage.blogspot.com/">Nigel Farage MEP</a>', posted 11 May 2009, began: "The UK Independence Party is the only moderate, democratic party to advocate Britain's withdrawal from the European Union", and continued: "On June 4, please lend us your vote. Say No to European Union and help UKIP ensure that the future of our nation is decided by those of us who live here. There can surely no longer be any question that Britain would be better off out". <br />
<br />
Withdrawal from the EU was and still is UKIP's policy and principle aim, and its MEPs have no mandate from the party or the electorate to sit in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=48.597512,7.769092&spn=0.01,0.01&q=48.597512,7.769092%20%28European%20Parliament%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="European Parliament">European parliament</a> and speak, vote on or represent anything else.<br />
<br />
UKIP MEPs' alliance with those of other, non-withdrawalist, parties in their EP group has always been contentious, but the nature of EP groupings is a loose one whereby the parliament's rules assume (but do not require proof of) political affinity between group members, unless they state otherwise. In addition, <a href="http://efd-eu.blogspot.com/">the EFD</a>'s political platform is vague and allows its different delegations the freedom to vote as they see fit, a freedom which is taken full advantage of with other <a href="http://efd-eu.blogspot.com/">EFD</a> members frequently voting in favour of motions on which UKIP's MEPs abstain or vote against. <br />
<br />
This will not apply to members of a pan-EU party, and those who join the European Alliance will not simply be 'assumed' to have political affinity. In order to be approved as a political party and granted EP funding they will have to agree common objectives and draw up a political programme to work to, which they will have to submit with their funding application. Any change to that programme must be notified to the parliament or the funding will be suspended. <br />
<br />
None of the parties or individuals named in the Bonici e-mail, other than Godfrey Bloom, are withdrawalists. They are reformists who wish to remain in the EU and whose political programme will reflect that intention. Even the name adopted by the new party makes no reference to independence or anything else that might suggest withdrawal. Indeed, a European Alliance for Freedom does no more than echo the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union" rel="wikipedia" title="European Union">EU's</a> own description of itself as 'an area of freedom, security and justice'. Any UKIP MEPs joining this party will in effect have crossed the floor to pursue political objectives for which they have no mandate.<br />
<br />
They cannot in these circumstances continue to be regarded as UKIP MEPs, and for the party to keep faith with its members and its electorate it will have to expel any MEP who joins the European Alliance for Freedom.</div></blockquote>To view the original on what was The UKIP Forum now risibly called The British Democracy Forum <a href="http://www.democracyforum.co.uk/ukip/83551-european-alliance-freedom.html">CLICK HERE</a> <br />

Could even the UK Independence Party be bribed in this way? Of course not, you might say. Well, unfortunately it's a little more complicated. The last few weeks have seen rumours that a new pan-<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_political_party" rel="wikipedia" title="European political party">European political party</a> would be formed, with the UK Independence Party (or at any rate UKIP <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_European_Parliament" rel="wikipedia" title="Member of the European Parliament">MEPs</a>) being invited to join. I have been hoping that these rumours were untrue. But an e-mail has been sent to UKIP MEPs by a lady called Sharon Bonici and, if I have read it correctly, it is a clear-cut invitation to participate in the development of a pan-European political party. I understand that it has been sent to UKIP MEPs. Indeed, the e-mail says that Mr. Godfrey Bloom has "confirmed" that he does wish to participate in the new pan-European political party, to be known as "the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Alliance" rel="wikipedia" title="European Alliance">European Alliance</a>". </timcongdon@btinternet.com></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #6600cc;"><strong><timcongdon@btinternet.com><br />
I stand open to correction (and would in fact like to be wrong), but my interpretation of the Bonici e-mail is that extra money will be made available to the MEPs of national parties - not necessarily to their salaries, of course - who decide to belong to the European Alliance. Perhaps Ms. Bonici - to whom I suppose this e-mail will be forwarded - might like to repudiate that suggestion, if it is untrue.<br />
<br />
For myself, I would like to reiterate what I have said throughout the 2010 election campaign for the leadership of the UK Independence Party, that<br />
</timcongdon@btinternet.com></strong><strong><em><span style="color: red;">1. I do not want to be a MEP,<br />
2. I intend to finance from my own resources (up to £100,000 a year) a London-based office which is to concentrate on the organization of UKIP political campaigning in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.5,-0.116666666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=51.5,-0.116666666667%20%28United%20Kingdom%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="United Kingdom">UK</a>, and<br />
3. The centre of gravity of the UK Independence Party must be in the UK.<br />
</span></em>At the Torquay party conference in September I supported the motion, proposed by Steph McWilliam, that the party membership must be consuulted on the question of UKIP's involvement in a pan-European political party. As is well-known in party circles, <a href="http://farage.blogspot.com/">Nigel Farage</a> opposed the motion. The motion was in fact carried overwhelmingly. In my view, the party membership must be consulted on a possible development of this kind, which is basic to the purpose and definition of the UK Independence Party, and even in fact to its very name.<br />
<br />
Gerard Batten MEP has sent me an e-mail to say that he will respect and abide by the Torquay conference motion.<br />
<br />
I hope that all three other candidates in the current leadership election will confirm that they will abide by the Torquay conference vote on this subject and, more generally, will respect the principle of party democracy.<br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Memo on an e-mail from Sharon Bonici to interested individuals (including UKIP MEPs) about a new pan-European party, to be called “the European Alliance I have highlighted key passages of the e-mail in red. Note that the e-mail refers to:<br />
<br />
1. The proposed new party, to be called “the European Alliance”, without clarifying whether – for example – existing Eurosceptic parties, such as the UK Independence Party, are to keep their present names in future elections.<br />
<br />
2. The alleged urgency of making a decision about participation in such a pan-European party. (To whom and what are the “paper work” to be handed in? The question is basic.)<br />
<br />
3. “European funds” being made “available to us”. (From whom are such funds coming? The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=48.597512,7.769092&spn=0.01,0.01&q=48.597512,7.769092%20%28European%20Parliament%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="European Parliament">European Parliament</a>? Assume that the funds come from the European Parliament. Then – in the event that UKIP MEPs were to participate in “the European Alliance” – their activities would be funded by the European Parliament, an institution avowedly central to the project of European integration.)<br />
<br />
4. The possibility of the “consent” of party members, the meaning of which is (to me at least) unclear, but may intended as a fig-leaf to pacify those UKIP members who at the 2010 Torquay party conference voted overwhelmingly that the issue of pan-European parties must be decided by the party membership.<br />
<br />
5. Godfrey Bloom, as already confirming his wish to participate in the European Alliance project. (Mr. Bloom is said to be “<a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.efdgroup.eu/" rel="homepage" title="Europe of Freedom and Democracy">EFD</a>”, not “UKIP”. EFD stands, of course, for “<a href="http://efd-eu.blogspot.com/">Europe of Freedom and Democracy</a>”, the existing pan-European grouping to which a majority of UKIP MEPs are attached.)<br />
<br />
6. A closing line, in which the European Parliament is acknowledged as having the power “to approve the new Alliance”. This is – almost certainly – the power to approve the Alliance, meaning the power to approve the Alliance in order to establish the Alliance’s eligibility for various monies from the European Parliament because it meets certain criteria of pan-European-ness. </span></em></strong></span><br />

<br />
We are currently setting up </span><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">a new European </span></b><st1:city><st1:place><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Alliance</span></b></st1:place></st1:city><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> and most members I spoke to who are joining or joined would really like to see you on board. I would like to set up a meeting with you to discuss and hope to get your interest in being part of this new poject. I will be in parliament today Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week and would appreciate if we can meet up at your convenience. </span><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">We need to hand in all the paper work and signautres by the end of the week, so this is a bit urgent.<br />
</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><br />

The idea is to use the million signature clause according to the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://europa.eu/lisbon_treaty/index_en.htm" rel="homepage" title="Treaty of Lisbon">Lisbon Treaty</a>.<br />
<br />
We can build a multilingual website for people to sign up and advertise it in every member state. This will automatically gives us a huge database of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euroscepticism" rel="wikipedia" title="Euroscepticism">Eurosceptics</a> and people across </span><st1:place><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Europe</span></st1:place><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> with the same ideology. In time we need to campaign again on another issue we can engage these people on various campaigns and keep the Commission on their toes.<br />
<br />
We will print research publication in various languages.<br />

<div class="Body_inside" style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>On withdrawing from the EU</b></span></div><div class="Body_inside" style="color: blue;">I personally disagree: in fact I think it would be <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_suicide" rel="wikipedia" title="Political suicide">political suicide</a>. The damage to our international reputation would be irreversible. We would project the image of an unreliable nation that can’t make up its own mind. This in turn would diminish our standing in international fora... which would negatively affect <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_direct_investment" rel="wikipedia" title="Foreign direct investment">foreign investment</a>... and ultimately, the citizens would suffer.”<br />
