Wow! :eek:

Please note that he did not resign as a MEP, just from a post he had recently acquired as the Conservative Party's "European legal spokesman."

"I want open primaries, popular initiative procedures, elected sheriffs, self-financing councils, an end to quangos, recall mechanisms and, yes, referendums – lots and lots of referendums," he wrote.


"I don't just mean a referndum on Europe - though, naturally, that is the obvious place to start. I mean full-on Helvetic people power... I have returned to the back benches in order to concentrate on building such a movement."

Hopefully he succeeds.

Hannan blows my mind every time I hear him. Why can't we have more Daniel Hannan's in this world?

Wouldn't it be nice to have at least a couple hundred of him in our congress and senate. He's always commenting about how lucky we are to have our Constitution and how our government is basically trying to destroy it. It really says something when a man as smart as him can see what's going on from across the pond when the idiots here can't see it right under their noses....

And thus, RPF continues its legacy of completely misleading thread titles.
