Congratulations to Syd Kamall, thanks to Richard Ashworth

Congratulations to Syed Kamall MEP who has just been elected as the new leader of the Conservative MEPs.

Thanks to Richard Ashworth, the outgoing leader from whom Syed takes over, for all his hard work.

Here’s is Syed's statement on his election:

“I am proud and honoured to have been chosen to lead this talented and committed team of politicians at a crucial time. 
 
I am determined that people will hear loud and clear our message of reform in Europe, of a new relationship with the EU and of giving the British people the right to accept or reject it in a referendum.

 I am determined that we see as many Conservatives as possible elected to the European Parliament in May because we are the only ones who will properly protect Britain’s interests.

I am also determined that our work must focus on the legislative areas that really matter here, where real change is achieved, where taxpayers money is spent or saved and where dangerous proposals are blocked – not the many talking shops that give Brussels such a bad reputation.”

I look forward to taking forward our radical vision of a new deal in Europe – that works for Britain – and to making our case both in the parliament and at home in the UK.”
