The New European Commission

Do we really want Rocco Buttiglione?

His views are out of step with those of most of us. Especially, as they are also outdated for an Institution that has to modernise and think out of the box to solve the major problems we now face.

But also as someone who is generally supportive of Europe, especially with respect to trade, the Euro, border controls, metric measures and time zones, I feel he is just the sort of person to make the British even more Euro-sceptic!

Europe and ourselves need him like a hole in the head.
