Caroline is in a difficult position, she was an MEP for nearly two mandates. She will collect a very nice EU pension. Its very difficult for her to take an objective look at the EU set up, without owning to the reality that the EP is simply a side show, power rest with the EC alongside the European Council, both of whom are in hock to corporate interests. She is wholly wrong about how its an a EU level that we can take on corporate interests. Brussels is the second biggest lobby zone in the world, its fanciful for her to think that is financial and power can be taken on by the EP as most MEP's are part of a nice revolving door system with lobbyists.Moreover, its also difficult for Caroline to be objective as she has to some how talk up the "results" achieved by her and other Green MEP's , when in reality what results are simply marginal and frankly irrelevant. Even on Climate change which is the old chestnut that is used to justify remain, the EU policy can best be described as trying to dry a block of ice with a towel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440117683736860632.post-82468061351890757322018-01-18T15:33:53.737-08:002018-01-18T15:33:53.737-08:00The original Green campaign around Brexit was terr...The original Green campaign around Brexit was terrible.
