The European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favour of the new 27-strong team of European commissioners.Each commissioner had previously faced a hearing in the European Parliament.The Commission is the EU's executive arm, responsible for drafting EU laws and ensuring that the 27 member states comply with the EU treaties.Bulgaria's first nominee, Rumiana Jeleva, failed to convince MEPs about her suitability for the job, so she was replaced by Kristalina Georgieva.
MEPs cast 488 votes in favour of the Commission, 137 against and there were 72 abstentions.You'd have thought they'd have learned the lessons when bad accounting, along with bad management, nepotism and the fraud that resulted from it, brought down the entire European Union Commission, then headed by Jacques Santer. Or how about the Eurostat fraud committed under the all seeing gaze of Neil Kinnock? Who then went on to sack the investigator Marta Andreasen.
15 years of not having signed off the accounts, the CAP, the destruction of our fishing industry, the demented green energy regulations complete with poisonous light bulbs (complete with a carbon burning trip to Strasbourg from Brussels every month), expenses corruption that dwarfs our own parliament, undemocratic, referendum ignoring, corrupt to the core the bloated bureaucracy that is the EU.
We are slowly but surely losing our country.
Can we leave? Now!
