Ukip MEPs Voted Against Ivory Trade Clampdown In European Parliament

First topic message reminder :

Ukip has been branded "morally repugnant" after it emerged the party's MEPs - including Nigel Farage - voted against a resolution designed to combat the illegal ivory trade in Europe.
Only 14 of the 671 politicians who voted opposed the resolution, and six of them were Ukip.
They included Farage, along with the party's deputy leader Paul Nuttall, Derek Clark, Gerard Batten, John Agnew and William Dartmouth.

The resolution, which was voted on in January, called on EU countries to recognise they are "a major transit destination for illegal wildlife products such as ivory and live animals" and implored them "to introduce moratoria on all commercial imports, exports and domestic sales and purchases of tusks and raw and worked ivory products until wild elephant populations are no longer threatened by poaching".
It also called on EU countries to implement Interpol recommendations on combating the illegal online trade in ivory and to destroy any stockpiles of illegal ivory to "send a clear signal against wildlife trafficking and demand for illegal wildlife products".
None of the Ukip MEPs present for the vote were in favour of the resolution.

As usual you try to have it both ways!

A vote of them to be an MEP, a waste of money, when others could be put to better use.

Simple, they will ruin the country if voted in a general election

Not voting here, there is no point. So which of the four son's of satan elitist would you go for?

There is such a thing as nations being on the same page, or did you not think of that poor Matti?

Or having an influence in policies

My post should have read 'both ways' not 'anti ways'.

What are you talking about?

You previously said that the EU has no power so what is the point of it all except for being an expensive waste of time?

It has little power to enforce its policies, as again, what has been done to stop the UK creating a new policy to deny new migrants benefits for the first 3 months?

Take your time?

If it has no power then what is it for?
And what does it matter what it does or doesn't say about ivory trade or anything else?
And Why are you so upset with UKIP being elected there if EU is irrelevant?

So countries can agree policies, trade, unity, a better place for all.

A better place for all??????

Fuck me dodge you are clearly deluded!

But if the EU has no power and everyone can just ignore it anyway, what is the point of any of it?

And if such an irrelevance, what does it matter if UKIP are there or anyone else?

And even more reasons for it to be abandoned! Thanks for putting up a great argument against the EU dodge!

Nice one!

You go on about a depression in England.

Luckily we didn't join the organisation called the EU fully (the Euro) so we narrowly missed THEIR depression.

edit: but then again - we still bailed them all out Question

The point is as I stated, for unity between nations, we have the EU being the biggest economic success collectively, united against many wrongs. So it has many benefits as stated, it needs reforming that is in no doubt but the more countries working together is better for the world in the long run.
You wish a nation to stand alone, not very bright when many times this nation has worked with so many nations to defeat evil, but you are not that bright are you
