Anti-PiS Tory MEP flushed out

Having already threatened to split the party in the 90’s, Europe, it seems, may prove fatal for David Cameron’s British Conservatives. The UK’s Daily Telegraph reports on the expulsion from the party of the EP’s new vice-president - Edward McMillan-Scott. McMillan-Scott, the Tories’ longest-serving MEP, ran for the post against the official candidate put forward by new eurosceptic grouping Conservative and Reformist Group (ECR) of which the Conservatives are now, controversially, a member. “Mr McMillan-Scott,” the Telegraph reports, “has not hidden his unease” with the Tories’ new Right-wing East European allies, particularly Poland’s Law and Justice Party (PiS). The PiS, having already banned homosexual marches for being " sexually obscene”, is suspected in Tory circles of having links with “extremism.” The ECR, the Telegraph continues, “was formed after Mr Cameron promised to take the Conservatives out of the pro-integration and largely federalist European People's Party.”
