"Mr President, after two years in this Parliament we have finally agreed on something. I agree with you about the timing of this debate, and it is bizarre that, of the 751 members of European Parliament, there are just 12 of us here for this debate. Perhaps we are the dirty dozen. The timing of this report highlights the precise reasons why the United Kingdom should not entrust the most vital duty of state – the defence of the realm – to the institutions of the European Union. While the EU reviews its overall grand strategy, it is already deciding upon regional strategies. How can this lead to anything but confused and muddled policy—making? It is precisely this kind of lack of capacity in joined—up thinking within the EU that, rather than acting as an enhancer of British security, actually impedes it. So it seems to me that on UK referendum day, 23 June 2016, the British public will be asked to undermine the proven experienced ability of Member States in favour of an EU that is, quite frankly, hell—bent on developing these very same capabilities."@en1
