The South Suffolk Conservative Women’s Committee ( ‘organised by women but men always welcome!’) held its quarterly meeting at Little Waldingfield Parish Rooms on Thursday.
The guest of honour was prospective MEP, Vicky Ford. Vicky is number three on the ‘List’ for the East of England and so stands a good chance of making it to Brussels in the European Elections in June.
Vicky was very good value, demonstrating a wide knowledge of the relevant issues, along with a healthy dose of Euroscepticism that went down well with her audience. She certainly knows why she is going to Brussels, and it isn’t to encourage the lack of democracy and accountability that seems to be endemic there.
Vicky made us all feel that we don’t have to defect to UKIP in June to make the point that we don’t think much of the vast and intrusive bureaucracy that is the European Community. The Conservatives have seen the problems from within and aim to combat them. Indeed, if plans to align with other anti-federalists from the former eastern bloc come to fruition, the Conservatives will definitely be the people to back if you want to see law making returned to its rightful place in Westminster.
Incidentally, Little Waldingfield Parish Rooms was an excellent venue for the meeting. The kitchen is well equipped and the hall a sensible size.
