The City Under Threat & Britain and the EU: The Crunch
Professor Tim Congdon
Daniel Hannan MEP

The leading economist Professor Tim Congdon warns of the dangers posed by the EU’s unwarranted interference in the City of London, Britain’s most successful industry; which is under threat from the EU. Professor Congdon discussed the EU’s latest power grab where Brussels is aiming to complete its project to take full control over financial services. Daniel Hannan MEP discussed the Lisbon Treaty and the continuing assault on our democracy and our freedom. He also talked about the coming crunch between Britain and Europe

The Case for EFTA
Daniel Hannan MEP

In the latest of the Bruges Group's Alternatives to the EU series Daniel Hannan MEP sets out the case for the European Free Trade Association. Membership of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) comes close to realising the dispensation that most British voters always wanted from Europe: free trade without unnecessary regulation or political union. Its rude prosperity is embarrassing to British Euro-sophists, who have been telling us for 30 years that the EU is vital to our economic survival. Yet, the EFTA states enjoy lower inflation, higher employment, healthier budget surpluses and lower real interest rates than those countries that are members of the European Union. It is simple, people in EFTA are more than twice as rich as those in the EU.

The Bruges Group spearheads the intellectual battle against the notion of "ever-closer Union" in Europe and, above all, against British involvement in a single European state.
