Blogging and the EU

Respected Euro-blogger, Jon Worth writes a thought provoking article on "Remind me, why do I blog about the EU?"

I don’t fit into either of the traditional camps of opinion on what to do. I don’t think the EU is an evil conspiracy and want the whole thing to fall apart, but on the other hand bland ‘pro-Europeanism’ as advocated by those very much part of the political system is no good either.

I think a great many people fall into this area, certainly I do, but we're not shouting the loudest or most stridently.

Brussels is a place where you have to represent someone or something - I am independent, and being a blogger in your own right is not enough.

Blairwatch is also independent, we have no paymasters or political attachments. But we don't feel alone and perhaps what Brussels needs is more independent voices.

Jon, you're not alone, not by a long way.
