The arrogance of the right is truly breathtaking. The EPP-ED are already claiming that victory will be theirs at the European elections in June.
The Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats has been the largest political group in the European Parliament since July 1999. While the British Tories are pulling away from the EPP-ED, largely because the group is not right-wing or nationalist enough for their taste, the centre right clearly believe that victory is already theirs according to the press release from their pre-election get-together in Warsaw.
They consider themselves to be the established party of goverment in Europe, boasting that they are in power in 19 out of 27 EU Member States, they lead the European Commission and the European Parliament. But what have they done with this power?
Little to tackle the global financial crisis.
Nothing to address rising food and energy prices.
Nothing to fight poverty and inequalities.
Little to deliver more and better jobs.

A vote for Labour on 4th June will be a vote for a fairer, safer society, tackling the challenges we face by putting people first.
It will also be a vote to shake the centre right complacency in Brussels.
