European Elections 2014

Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 June 2013. It occurred during Debate on European Elections 2014.

Of course, Madam Deputy Speaker.

The second point is that there is an expression of what I used to call the Thatcher doctrine, which is to complain about the lack of democracy in the European Union but oppose all practical steps to increase democratic accountability because that would be seen as giving more legitimacy to the European tier of government. I think that is a regrettable approach.
