It seems pretty obvious to me and anyone else that has studied human nature that the majority of folk will always 'look out for number 1'. European politicians and bureaucrats are no exception to this rule, they are pro-Europe because they personally profit from Europe. The grandiose heads of the gravy train wheeze and whine about how they are acting on behalf of the whole European population when of course any fool knows they are there to line their own pockets. Ask them for a tangible reason how, as a huge net contributor, we (UK) actually gain from Europe and you will be met with silence.. (cos therer ain't owt) or they might offer some pap about being a great club to be in, or we're stronger together etc.. Stronger against whom may I ask ? The Chinese ? Like they give a stuff. Then they might drivel on about the free trade which of course is great and something that UKIP have always agreed with (EEC yes, EU governed no.)
Little Nicky Cleggy tries his best to portray himself as a conviction politician believing in the European ideal. But why ? Because he has a fiery Spanish Mrs ? Because he truly believes in the wishy-washy arguments he spouts. No because like many failed career politicians before him (and he will fall by the wayside in short order) his future livelihood will no doubt depend on picking up one of the gravy train post in the EU. commission . He knows which side his bread's buttered make no mistake. There's only one (maybe two)conviction politicians in UK right now - one's Farage and the other is that misguided buffoon Salmond.
