End Of The Ming Dynasty
Thankfully the Liberal Democrat conference in dreary Brighton has finally come to an end, with the only potentially ‘significant’ event that might have occurred failing to materialise.
The Ming Dynasty (if it ever truly began that is) has been stumbling along now for the past two years since the Lib Dems deposed former leader and drunkard Charles Kennedy. Yet, despite murmurings of discontent, Ming’s equally incompetent underlings chose not to challenge his flagging and failing leadership.
Never mind though. The Liberal Democrats are a third-rate backwater political party full of far-left socialists, rubbing shoulders with anti-Semites and anti-capitalist eco-loonies – so it doesn’t really matter who leads them because nationally they’ll always be an electoral obscurity.
Despite the lack of any change in the Lib Dem leadership, Ming Campbell provided his opponents with an enlightening interview on the BBC’s Newsnight programme where he managed to elaborate on a number of his party’s non-policies, including crucially his opposition to an EU Referendum.
When watching the interview it’s also worth noting some more blatant BBC bias by comparing and contrasting the previously hostile questioning of David Cameron by Newsnight’s stuck-up Economics editor, Stephanie Flanders, with her latest meek examination of the Meaningless Lib Dem leader.
At the BBC studios, Ming was asked why the Liberal Democrats did not support a referendum on the EU Constitution Treaty, to which he replied:
Well, the Government opt-outs – it’s a substantially different document from the so-called Constitution. But actually I want to go further – what I’ve said is the I don’t think this is a document that requires a referendum – but I want to go further than that now because I think we’ve reached a point in our relationship with the EU that we really ought to ask the people of Britain the big question.
You see the Maastricht treaty turned the community into the European Union. Conservatives refused a referendum on that, and everything that has happened since has been an implement of the creation of the European Union. But if you’re under fifty in this country then you didn’t get a chance to vote in the last referendum in 1975.
I think we should now have a referendum – big question, in or out. Now I want to lead the pro-European case in that referendum because the benefits of Europe are in my view are so enormous, so overwhelming that that’s a referendum we can win, and it will stop this phoney war, of which eurosceptics line up behind the referendum on this particular document when they’re actual purpose would be to get Britain out. Let’s call them out.
Ah, there we go. We have it. The real reason why the pro-EU Lib Dems don’t want a referendum on the Constitution – because they know full well that they’d be on the losing end of any vote, and therefore want to try and change the direction of the argument.
Ming’s attitude is generally indicative of British Europhiles and our ruling elites who have complete contempt for the people of this country. Gordon Brown in particular is foremost among those, with his arrogant insistence that British people will not be given a direct say in how they are ruled.
