Why the election pledges must be honoured
Roger Helmer MEP 
Melanie Phillips 

The manifesto commitments to take back powers from Brussels and to protect the UK from the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights have been quietly dropped. To make matters worse the pledge to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty was abandoned. At the 2010 Conservative Party Conference the Bruges Group made the case as to Why the election pledges must be honoured

Cool Thinking on Climate Change
Roger Helmer MEP 

Evidence is quite clearly emerging that man is not having the impact on the climate that the EU climate alarmists claim. Ignoring the doubts, the European Commission proposes to forge ahead with eyewateringly expensive initiatives designed to mitigate climate change. The estimated cost of these programmes is €73 billion a year across the EU by 2020. In the UK, it will cost £9 billion a year by 2020. It is expected to force a million more households into fuel poverty. These policies are likely to raise average domestic fuel bills by up to £200 a year, while the total economic cost would average around £600 per family

Estonia faces the EU propaganda barrage
Roger Helmer MEP 

Roger Helmer discusses the European Union's and the German Embassy's undue influence in Estonia's EU accession debate

Inward investment – the big lie
Roger Helmer MEP 

The OECD's figures on inward investment show, contrary to the pro-euro lobby's claims, that the Pound is better for jobs and growth

Federalism in the USA and the EU
Roger Helmer MEP 

Giscard's draft EU Constitution is not federalist. It goes beyond federalism. It will in fact give enormous powers to unaccountable centralised institutions which are not, and cannot be, democratic

Estonia at the Crossroads
Roger Helmer MEP 

Roger Helmer MEP, after his recent visit to Estonia organised by Research Centre Free Europe, tells us why the Estonians should say 'No' to EU Membership

The USA - friend or foe?
Roger Helmer MEP 

The left-wing anti-Americans in the European Parliament are wrong to despise the United States

The impotence of the EU superstate
Roger Helmer MEP 

As the EU fails to act effectively against the Mugabe regime and tackle the illegal French ban on British beef the emerging European superstate shows its impotence

EU Enlargement? Yes but....
Roger Helmer MEP 

EU Enlargement will not create the flexible Europe that many in the Conservative Party hope for but instead it will mean that the European Union will only become more centralised.

The euro's rise strengthens the case for Britain to keep the Pound
Roger Helmer MEP 

Calls for Britain to scrap the Pound and join the euro, after its rise in value, are rebutted

Hard times for the euro
Roger Helmer MEP 

It's really been a rotten couple of weeks for the euro-luvvies. One bad news story after another. The problems are coming home to roost, while the so-called "benefits" of euro membership are just not happening.

Euro disaster hits Germany
Roger Helmer MEP 

54% of Germans want the Deutschmark back and now dub the new currency the “teuro” from the German word “teuer” for expensive.

Dr Helen Szamuely 

This International Conference, always a major newsworthy event in the EU-sceptic calendar, was intended to further push forward the boundaries of debate regarding the European Union. It did not disappoint. The Conference not only criticised the push towards further integration but most importantly it promoted the positive alternatives, for Britain and the nation-states of Europe, to membership of the European Union. To this end the Bruges Group gathered together in London many influential and internationally renowned figures to discuss the positive, dynamic alternatives to the status quo, which are on offer. The conclusions of this event left everyone convinced that a free trade alternative model for Europe and the North Atlantic should be vigorously pursued.
