that is irrelevant to TGA being the british voice in europe as so many european papers treat him (there is a der-spiegal example in this very thread, and he was der-spiegals voice of britain during the euro elections).
expert historian he might be, but he is also a muppet who has been captured by the pernicious ideology Transnational progressivism, and he quite simply does not represent british public opinion when he mouths off about EU politics to foreign pundits.
he is also quite simply very wrong when states that the new party will be a political irrelevance, because under proportional representation that is totally untrue.
and this dodges the fact that the EPP, just like TGA, does not represent the world-view of conservative politics, so it is utter stupidity for the cons to remain as a minor partner in a federalist party.
