Eurosceptics pass Filibuster Minimum

Four Italian MEPs joined the Eurosceptic group of MEPs this afternoon (benvenuto), putting them above the number required to table amendments in the European Parliament.

Perhaps the triple 'H' Tory hypocrites: Roger Helmer, Daniel Hannan and Christopher Heaton-Harris will live up to earlier commitments and now leave the ultra federalist EPP group and stand true to their oft purported eurosceptic beliefs! The report from The Scotsman is linked here.

CORRECTION - Reader Anna Faraday has e-mailed us and advised as follows:-

I was interested in your story on UKIPUNCOVERED about the new political
group getting 37 members.

They have their facts wrong. A properly-constituted political group can put
down amendments whatever its size.

See paragraph 1 of Rule 150 at from here

and note the very important word "or"

I do hope they have not taken people into the group just to reach that number!! :-)
