Sajjad Karim Mep And The Right Hon. Member For Witney

EDM number 391 in 2007-08, proposed by Gordon Prentice on 26/11/2007.
Categorised under the topic of Members of Parliament.

That this House notes that the right hon. Member for Witney is delighted to welcome Mr Karim into the Conservative Party believing him to be a hard working MEP who has so much to offer; notes Mr Karim's statement that this was not a `snapshot decision' and that he had been thinking about it for some time; records that in April 2007 Mr Karim said that the Leader of the Opposition was trying to paint a glossy image of a gay-friendly party in the UK while desperately trying to get into bed with Poland's Cosmopolitan Law and Justice Party; in his blog of 9th June 2007 he hoped the British public would `see Chameleon Cameron for who he really is!!'; further notes that on 13th September 2007 he quoted approvingly Liberal Democrat policies to cut carbon emissions noting the `Tories do not have firm plans'; further notes his view of 27th April 2007 that Cameron's Tories were failing to inspire many rural areas let alone urban ones; and suggests the faith placed by the right hon. Member for Witney in Mr Karim may be misplaced.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
