I thought I'm a million miles away from this guy's views and not to mention his very off-putting personality and style. He is definitely different to put it mildly and it now seems a liability to Conservative party ambitions; yet another loose cannon for David Cameron to deal with. The sad thing is, he has also undermined the great work President Barack Obama is trying to do; to give some basic medical care to more than 40 million American people who cannot afford medical insurance. <br /> <br />What Mr Hannan said was music to the Republicans' ears. The trouble is they will believe Mr Hannan is representative of the British people, which he certainly is not. He represents no one but himself on this one. British MEPs should keep their noses out of US domestic politics and get on with representing the UK in Europe, for which they are paid very well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-9636910020726331652009-08-13T22:17:08.773+01:002009-08-13T22:17:08.773+01:00a politician holds a view on an issue that is dif...a politician holds a view on an issue that is different to the partys published plans.<br /> a bit more of this from all parties would be appreciatedbenchilltorynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-43038085157818612872009-08-13T09:32:59.157+01:002009-08-13T09:32:59.157+01:00Oops .. the verb in the last phrase of the second ...Oops .. the verb in the last phrase of the second paragrah should read, 'know'!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-2657269635818105012009-08-13T09:31:59.882+01:002009-08-13T09:31:59.882+01:00Even in the Labour Party there are prominent elect...Even in the Labour Party there are prominent elected members who disagree with something that the Party has settled on as policy ... even things held particularly dear to the heart by others in the same party.<br /><br />Hannan's now rather well-known views of the NHS - and with which I disagree with and which do not form part of the party's policy (and he accepts that too, from what he has said) - cannot be elevated to the 'True Tory perspective on NHS' and to say otherwise is disingenuous nonsense - and you now it. <br /><br />The only 'true' perspective is that set out in party documents and policies - which fully support the essence of the NHS and in particular, treatment regardless of means, for free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
