Forty-eight MPs from cross-parties vote to stop the bailouts, illegal under the EU's own rules

The euro: Greece, Ireland and Portugal so far have been bailed out - next up Greece (again), and possibly Spain, Belgium and Italy.


Nigel Farage on the lunacy of the bailouts

Here, as promised, is the full list of the 30 Conservative, 15 Labour and 3 DUP Members of Parliament who supported Mark Reckless’s attempt to terminate Britain’s involvement in the eurozone bailouts (hat-tip, People’s Pledge).

If you live in one of their constituencies, please remember on polling day that they at least tried to spare you from having to contribute £500 to prop up a currency which Britain declined to join. There were, to be fair, a few more MPs who would have voted for Mark’s motion in its unamended form had opportunity arisen, as well as some “deliberate abstentions”, including a few PPSs.

It’s interesting to see that the two MPs selected through open primaries, Caroline Dinenage in Gosport and Sarah Wollaston in Totnes, both voted as their constituents wanted rather than as their Whips directed. You see? The system works.

It's not often I can find any praise for our politicians in the media, however raise a glass to these guys. The rebels; 30 Conservative MPs, 15 Labour MPs and 3 DUP MPs all voted to stop the bailouts (illegal under the EUs own laws, but as usual the elite do not have to adhere to their own laws, only we do) which would have saved you all £500 each rather than have it spent having to prop up a failed currency which we *thankfully* did not join but for some reason feel the need to prop it up when they would not return the favour if Sterling were in crisis.

Sadly the motion failed as the large portion of the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats all voted to give away your money to countries which are very unlikely to pay it back at a time when the UK itself has debts in the trillions. But at least this small group tried to defend the taxpayer and the electorate and due credit to each and every one of them.

Thoughts? should the UK throw its money at the failed single currency?
