no2eu Rejects the EU Gravy Train

The page detailing the pledge not to take up any seats gained by the new party on 4th June is linked here and contains this pledge: Reject the EU gravy train No2EU -Yes to Democracy will not sit in the European parliament. If elected our candidates will only nominally hold the title MEP and will not board the notorious EU gravy train.
The so-called European ‘parliament’ is an expensive fraud which has no law-making or parliamentary powers. All EU laws are proposed by another EU institution, the unelected European Commission, which is heavily influenced by corporate and big business lobbyists. A recent report showed that MEPs can make over one million pounds from a single five-year term by claiming various allowances and even for assistants for whom no record exists. The pay of British MEPs’ will even rise by almost 50 per cent after June's election to over £120,000. While in the real world banks go under, shares nosedive and hundreds of thousands of workers lose their jobs, EU elites continue to enrich themselves at the taxpayers' expense. If you vote No2EU - Yes to Democracy we will continue to campaign against the Lisbon Treaty and wasteful and corrupt EU institutions and demand the repatriation of democratic powers to member states. Vote No2EU - Yes to Democracy to protest against self-serving and well-heeled political elites that serve EU institutions which impose laws on over 500 million European citizens without their consent.
