Libertas managed to grab the attention of Londoners last night with a series of huge messages projected on to the side of London buildings. They look really impressive.
On the pay-rise issue: it is a pay rise for some MEPs, but it's a pay-cut for others (e.g. Italian MEPs), though with a messy compromise for re-elected MEPs. The salary harmonisation was introduced so that all MEPs would earn the same salary (opposed to a salary equal to that of national MPs, which left eastern MEPs with lower pay for the same job).
Fantastic Libertas, Declan and team. All the best tomorrow. Hope this will be the beginning of something new for Europe. Time to knock down the wall of secrecy, corruption and hidden expenses - like in 1989! @i_teacher
FANTASTICALLY DONE. GREAT PARTY, GREAT FUTURE, GREAT MAN-DECLAN GANLEY!

The expenses do need further reform.
