Subject: RE: BS: Europe forges fiscal union/Cameron Veto
We can only guess if he's done the right thing or not. None of us really know.
As you say - apart from the Express and Mail, the chorus of disapproval is deafening. The Times, The FT, The Independant, predictably(as you say the Guardian), The Telegraph......
Perhaps he knows something they don't. Lets hope so and he isn't just currying favour with the right wing euro phobes. It seems that that is the way the French and German politicians and newspapers are seeing it and reporting it.
If they are right, that says something about how threatened he feels within his own party. The tories are bastards to their own leaders -remember what Major said about members of the cabinet pissing out of the tent, rather than into it.
Its always on this same altar of Europe that the tories offer up their leader. You've got to feel that they're as bad at making a united front as the miners were. Will they be as easy to defeat?
Prior to the present international crisis. More people trusted Labour with the economy than the Conservatives. Not surprising after 18 years of high unemployment, economic stagnation, very low wages (supply and demand- people always want to work Bluesman - don't know about you, but most people!) .
So the question is, can Labour win at the next election. The veto is supposed to protect the City, but Cameron doesn't seem to be enjoying a vote of thanks from that quarter. Just Bluesman, the blue rinses, and the The Mail....
