UKIP: Godfrey Bloom, the Far Right & the pro- EU European Alliance for Freedom

The European Alliance for Freedom (EAF) is a pro-EU pan European political party. UKIP MEPs are not allowed to sit in these pro-EU entities following a ballot of members in 2010, but that has not stopped UKIP's Godfrey Bloom from being president of the EAF, where he sits with his fellow board members from the neo-nazi Vlaams Belaang, and the far-right Austrian Freedom Party. So much for the will of the UKIP membership, or the "gibbons" as Bloom calls them.

The EAF is developing, and in true far-right traditions they have held a summer camp for young people, many of whom appear to be who appear to be - well - skinheads. http://www.eurallfree.org/?q=node/208 Nice!

 

And let us not forget the EAF congress, the photographs of which reveal Nigel Farage's assistant Steve Reed sitting next to Vlaams Belang's Phillip Claeys! http://www.eurallfree.org/?q=node/199

The EAF statute is interesting, and it calls into question Bloom's relationship with both the EAF and UKIP. It states: "A member may be expelled for not abiding by the principles and objectives of Article 2 of the statute,"

 

So what is Article 2? This calls "for a non-centralised, transparent, flexible and democratically controlled EU" and wants "to sustain diversity and accountable cooperation at a European level ". It also wants "to uphold freedom of political expression and association across Europe and especially within the structures of the EU;"

 

So why has Bloom not only not been expelled (as he is supposedly a withdrawalist), but also been made president of the EAF?

 

The answer, dear reader, is simple. The anti-EU rhetoric of the UKIP leadership clique is purely for domestic consumption. It is to garner your votes and, more importantly, your money and the salaries that come with being on the EU gravy train.

 

But let us look a little deeper into the EAF. The party is based in Malta (although it has no Maltese politicians amongst its membership), and its representative on the island is one 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 "Everyone agrees that the EU was a very positive development." Mr Sammut's business practices at the moment include helping immigrants obtain Maltese residency so that they can enjoy "Freedom of movement within EU". He can also help you set up a business in Libya where he boasts of long years of success. Interesting.

 

Isabelle is rather young for such a role, she is just 22 years old. Perhaps her name is an administrative matter? We wonder if she is drawing an EU salary, and if so, who trousers it?

Can or should I say Will Ms. BONICI be able to answer a few Questions posed by BARBOO
Hi,
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.
Here are a few questions from Barboo:

Those who promote joining a pan-European party as a means of acquiring large amounts of EU funding 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?
Certainly there will have to be some contribution from UKIP if it decides to join the European Alliance. EU regulations stipulate that a maximum 85% of an EU-party's budget 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.
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 Germany's tiny Stroppy Citizens' Party (BiW) to have to pay as much as a party with thousands of members and several MEPs. 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.
'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?
