Nominations put forward for EU elections (From Watford Observer)

As a candidate for Libertas in the Eastern Region, let me be the first to wish all the other candidates for election to the European Parliament well but also to wish that we in Libertas will do especially well in the election on June 4th.

Of all the parties mentioned, Libertas is the only party putting forward an EU-wide slate of candidates.

Unlike fringe parties such as UKIP, English Democrats and United Kingdom First, Libertas is unapologetically pro-European and highly supportive of a revised and reformed European Union.

Libertas is not slavishly committed to the existing arrangements, which we believe are fundamentally undemocratic, unaccountable and lacking in transparency.

We want to see European Commissioners with electoral mandates, rather than the current “old boys” arrangement under which usually mediocre individuals are placed on the Brussels gravy train for past services rendered.

We oppose the Lisbon Treaty proposal for an unelected President of the European Union. Tony Blair is being tipped for the position! Need we say more?

Libertas MEPs will work from inside the European Union to achieve changes as the single largest block of MEPs in the Parliament.

We will work hard to bring proper scrutiny over EU affairs.

The fact that the European Commission’s accounts still remain unaudited after 14 years is something we will get resolved quickly.

The annual charade involving MEPs and support staff moving between Brussels and Strasbourg every month at a cost of €500 million is something we are determined to bring to an end.

I hope people throughout the Eastern Region will support our attempts to bring some fresh air and fresh thinking into the current EU mess by voting for Libertas on June 4th.

John Dowdle
European Parliamentary Candidate
Eastern Region

Personally, I'm sick of all the fiddling in both Westminster and the EU;therefore, I shall be voting for John Dowdle and his Party, Libertas in the Euro elections;isn't it time for some real Democracy and accountability from our politicians?

Fresh air fine, however to be effective more is required particularly for a multi-country parliament. How you link with other groupins will be a key question to ask these "new kids".

We recently held a Europe-wide conference in Rome, which marked the start of a fresh new approach towards politics across the continent.

All are welcome to join our new party - visit www.libertas.eu/uk for further details.

We will also be most grateful for electoral support on June 4th.

Thank you,

John Dowdle,
European Parliament Candidate,
Eastern Region,
