When Edward McMillan-Scott became a former Conservative MEP a month ago, I wrote in his defence. I have never liked his views on Europe - indeed we are at opposite ends of the Conservative Party, but I did think he was an honourable man. After reading Michal Kaminski's article for Conservative Home, I have realised I was too quick to defend McMillan-Scott and too quick to attack the members and parties of the new grouping in the European Parliament.
Read what Mr Kaminski has to say here, and make up your own mind. Edward McMillan-Scott was voted in by me and others in Yorkshire because he was number one on the Conservative ticket. As he regarded his own career more important than his party, will he now resign his seat? No, he won't, and what is more we will have to see him prancing around the European stage for another five years. Perhaps he will now write an article on Conservative Home and defend his actions? Don't hold your breath.
