		This party believes that that the EU cannot be vague about its future external borders: it "needs certainty in relation to itself".
		And the question remains whether, within the EPP, one delegate or another did not intend, by raising the problem of the geographic dimension of the EU, to initiate a comprehensive political debate on the case of Turkey.

	The Scotsman - Opinion - Letters - Cynical Tories in covert surrender to Brussels
		Even for a party which has conserved nothing in the British interest for 30 years, the alliance with the EPP suggests the most covert and abominable surrender of Britain’s interests imaginable.
		For the Tory Party to proclaim defence of the realm, so to speak, is a cynical attempt to tap into an electorate whose gut feeling is mistrust of an alien bureaucracy which cries democracy but strangles our independence.
		The European elections have patently failed to set the heather alight, and this is not helped by the fact that we, the voters, now vote for party lists and not for individuals.

		Given the uncertainties surrounding the final make up of the European Parliament political groups, it is even possible that EU Heads of Government may decide to delay their nomination of the Commission President when they meet this week to be better able to judge the final political shape of the new European Parliament.
		With some 200 MEPs, the Party of European Socialists (PES), will certainly not be able to mobilize a left of centre majority in the Parliament even after talking into account the incr eased numbers of the Green and Regional group and members and the left socialist GUE group.
		However it is far from clear whether the EPP will be able to mobilize a right wing majority on sensitive social and environmental policies given the differences in policy among some of the smaller groups including the increased number of “euro-sceptics” elected in Britain, Poland, the Czech Republic and elsewhere.

	Conservative Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This originates from the 1912 merger with the Liberal Unionist Party, and is an echo of the party's defence (1886-1921) of maintaining the Union of Great Britain and Ireland, in opposition to Irish nationalist and republican aspirations.
		The internal organisation of the Conservative Party is a contrast between constituency groups who offer grassroots support and dominate in the election of party leaders, and the members of the Conservative Central Office who lead in financing, the organisation of elections, and drafting of policy.
		But the party's reputation for economic stewardship was dealt a blow by Black Wednesday in 1992, in which billions of pounds were spent in a futile effort to keep the pound within the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) system at an overvalued rate.

		Lagendijk, a member of the Greens party, noted the irony of the situation: "The funny thing is -- in a way an irony of history, as I call it -- that by joining this political family, they might also influence the viewpoints of the EPP on the particular question of Turkey joining the EU."
