Eh? We elected the Tories on their 2010 manifesto. Why should they have been changing tack between then and now? Because Daily Mail?
After an election is exactly the right time for politicians to be reacting to the legitimate, substantiated voice of the people. Why are you expecting the government to have been doing a hot shoe shuffle on Europe when they're simply maintaining, up to this point, the course they said they would take?
Actually, if anything, the Tories HAVE been modifying their stance on Europe since the 2010 election with their 2017 referendum promise.
I seriously can't see what it is people are blathering about here.
The coalition has turned the country around and has ceded no further powers to Europe. Isn't that what the Conservatives (who, as you know, I didn't vote for) said they would do?
There's been an increase in Eurosceptic parties across the continent in this week's election, and our PM and other countries' representatives are responding to that. Were they supposed to have consulted their crystal balls and pre-empted the election results?
This is what elections are for. It's not hard.
