Tory MP resigns during Cameron's treacherous EU Council Statement.

The resignation letter of Mark Pritchard MP, as Deputy Chairman of the Conservative's International Office, was timed to be of the maximum embarassment to our treacherous Prime Minister, who as pointed out on this blog also yesterday, is both now scheming to keep Merkozy in power over both him and us, but also eventually accepting that the Fiscal Treaty be soon imposed on Britain.

A revolt by Mark Pritchard MP over the EU

Tellingly, given the serial treachery of the BBC, a recording of the debate this morning, between two conservative MPs, Mark Pritchard and Nadhim Zawahi, is STILL not available online, you may try from here.

The Guardian, however, has a report which is linked here, on the decision of one brave Tory, to put country before party and self-interest, as I may quote:

Mark Pritchard, the Conservative MP for Wrekin and secretary of the 1922 committee, made clear on Thursday he intends to rebel.

"If it's a three-line whip, yes I will," he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme. "Ultimately, this is about country first, party second and career last and that's what we have got to move to because ultimately the British people – the majority – have not had a say on this issue. It's not going to go away."

He added: "This is fundamentally about freedom, about democracy and it's about the legitimacy of the European project. There's the great disenfranchised out there that have never had a say.

"They need to be enfranchised. People feel there's a real disconnect, not only between Brussels and the British people but increasingly between Westminster and the British people."
