Michal Kaminiski

The BBC looks at Michal Kaminiski, the leader of a new right wing EU rejectionist grouping in the EU parliament. He's relevant because he leads the UK conservatives in the EU parliament and they seem likely to take power in the UK next year. He clearly has a past with far right views, though the issue is more whether he still harbours them. The article doesn't exactly nail him, but it flirts with saying he still has far right views. Whether or not he does this has got to be bad for the Conservatives in the UK, because whereas they want people to think of their position on the Europe as being sceptical, a vote winner for many voters in the UK, if people start to think Nazi they might well end up finding Europe as a liability. Great article.
