After his hypocritical comments telling Declan Ganley to return to the "political hinterland", one might have expected MEP Graham Watson to keep quiet on the topic of Libertas. Instead, the Lib Dem MEP for the South West has gone on the offensive again, or, rather, he has gone offensively wrong again.I think they will be a short-lived phenomenon, in the sense that I would be very surprised if they fought the election campaign in 2014. They failed to establish a party in the Czech Republic, they failed to establish a party in the UK,Failed to establish a party in the UK, Graham? Is that euro-speak for "haven't launched yet", or are you just lying? Just how desperate do you have to be to resort to claiming that your opposition doesn't even exist!
they will try to establish a party and they might get seven or eight countries.
We are well beyond that already, and Libertas hasn't even started yet. Whose nerves are you trying to calm?
They’re getting publicity. I think there will always be people who are either opposed to or very skeptical about the development of the European Union. But to have a movement which is actually dedicated to wrecking treaties and so on. I don’t think it will get much public support.
Dedicated to wrecking treaties? No, Graham, we are offering a positive alternative future for Europe based on democracy, transparency and accountability instead of the anti-democratic, authoritarian nightmare that you and your kind are trying squeeze the life out of Europe with under the pretence of being 'pro-European'.
We will even be standing on a platform promoting a new brief, readable treaty for the EU. That's not 'wrecking', it's disagreeing with their vision of a post-democratic EU. Unfortunately this is a foreign* concept to the Brussels elites; disagreement will not be tolerated.
Still, it's nice to know that we have him so rattled that he will spout any old nonsense.
* Foreign = anywhere outside the Ivory Towers in Brussels = the real Europe where real people live.

If successful at European level, will Libertas field candidates in the UK to sit in the 'mother of all Parliaments' as a UK party? If there is a Libertas candidate on the Ballot in June I will be voting for them but would like to know what the 'longer' term plans are, if any? I am sure Mr Ganley is more than aware of the 'unhappiness' felt by many Brits towards our present MP's from all parties. People are really looking for something 'fresh and different'; the BNP is gaining attention because people feel they have no where else to go!
There are absolutely no plans to stand in any elections other than the European Elections. Libertas is a pan-European party dedicated solely to deep-rooted reform of the European Union.
