"Mr President, next year’s European election will not be contested on the old division lines of left and right and several group leaders have agreed with that today. Frankly, that is all irrelevant. It will be contested between those of us that believe in national democracy within the nation state and those that believe that the 28 countries that are part of the EU are better governed by these institutions. That in a sense is what this comes down to. But, Mr Barroso, those of us that believe in national democracy do not want to take us back to the Western Front or 1914. Those of us that believe in national democracy will say to you it is a healthy assertion of identity, but it also shows a deeper understanding of why the problems of Europe were caused in the past. It is democratic nation states in Europe, that are stable, that will not go to war with each other, which are a force for good and I would remind people that, without the vote in the House of Commons two weeks ago, we would now be at war in Syria. What better proof can there be that nation state democracy can be a force for good?"@en1
