lpv:spoken text	"I support Richard Corbett’s report amending the Rules of Procedure regarding the formation of political groups. With 27 Member States the EU’s rules on this issue need to be updated. The European Parliament cannot justify using millions of euros of taxpayers’ money to fund groupings of parties, especially fascists, who come together for nothing other than financial gain. The European Parliament has the lowest threshold of almost any parliament for constituting groups. There is no threat to any existing group – nor is the rule change an attempt to squash Eurosceptics, who have more than the new minimum number. Consequently, I voted in favour of Mr Corbett’s report."@en1
