Positive UK backdrop to Europe elections
With the UK confirmed as the fastest growing economy in Western Europe, unemployment figures dropping to 7.1% and crime falling by 10% in England and Wales, conditions going into London’s May 22 European and local elections are very favourable for the Conservatives.
In addition, a 30% reduction in net immigration figures show that the government is committed to its pledge and to preventing EU benefit tourism abuses, while in finally returning radical cleric Abu Qatada, Home Secretary Theresa May has succeeded where many other home secretaries have failed in resisting the powers of the European Court of Human Rights.
Prime Minister David Cameron has made a solemn promise if returned to government in 2015 to renegotiate Britain’s relationship with the EU and following this an In/Out referendum on EU membership in 2017.
The PM has also safeguarded the City of London by ensuring double majority voting in the European Banking Authority, and secured a commitment that would stop UK participation in any future Eurozone bailouts.
