I am not expecting William Hague to be making a speech later on today at the Tory conference embracing the virtues of European integration and federalism. I would imagine he will use the opportunity to divert attention from the child benefits cut fiasco and focus on the popular anti Europe band wagon.
The reality is that we have to learn to live with other European states and see the move towards more real integration as a necessary stage in international development. All we have to do is take a real look at the real world and see that we are dominated by countries that are federations of different people. The USA, Russia, China, India and Brazil are the examples of how the world will look like very soon. There is no point burying our heads in the sand and living in the past. A truly united Europe will guarantee our safety and it will mean that the prospect of another catastrophic war is avoid.
Euro Federalism is the way forward but I do not expect Tory boy Hague to be preaching this today!
