A moment of confusion ...

I have to admit to a rare moment of uncertainty tonight.

Watching Blair being heckled in the EU Parliament tonight on Newsnight left me with genuinely mixed emotions. Here is a man who I find reprehensible in many forms and yet I found myself sympathising with him as he had to grin at the backward European idiots who were refusing to listen to logic.

Blair in theory is quite right. The EU needs to reform, especially after expansion. We can no longer justify spending so much on CAP. Obviously this is going to upset the French but that's our reason d'etre in the EU, isn't it? But really, we need to reform and CAP is the logical starting place.

So whilst part of me enjoyed the heckling part of me also felt strangely protective of Blair. Fundamentally he is right, social welfare cannot continue without strong economies and jobs. Is he the most right wing socialist ever if I am agreeing with him or am I becoming more left-wing? Too scary a thought for this time of night!
