Over fish pie, beef pasta, pork with rice and a vegetarian flan, Wokingham Conservatives talked of how we can restore our democracy as it falls within the growing grasp of the EU.
Hilary Pollock produced a great menu with choices for the hungry campaigners on Saturday evening. As we got to gips with apple and blackberry crumble, or apricot pie or chocolate roulade, there was general agreement that we need a new relationship with the EU.
Now France and Germany are pressing so hard to complete a policical union, members supported the Prime Minister in saying “No” to the UK being governed from Brussels in the same way, and in saying the institutions of the EU should not be used to achieve the closer union of the 17 members of the Euro.
There was general support for Andrea Leadsom MP’s call for an incoming new government after a General Election to be able to repeal EU legislation in the UK which that government does not think is good for our country. There was general agreement that we need powers back, and a new relationship that restores democratic freedoms lost through the past government’s signature on the Nice, Amsterdam and Lisbon Treaties.
