WELCOME

Timothy Kirkhope MEP

Leader of the Conservatives in the European Parliament

Welcome to the web site of the Conservatives in the European Parliament. I hope you will enjoy finding out about the work of your Conservative MEPs.

With 27 MEPs, we are the largest British political group in the Parliament with a strong track record in promoting our country's interests. As the European Parliament has become more powerful, it has become increasingly important for the views of the British people to be heard loud and clear in Brussels and Strasbourg. We need your input to help us do this.

Conservative MEPs are fighting for:

  • A Europe of nation states
  • A flexible Europe that does less but better
  • A Europe that focuses on David Cameron's '3 Gs'
    • fighting Global poverty
    • tackling Global warming
    • boosting Global competitiveness

Click on the video link to hear more about how we are delivering for Britain in Europe. I want to hear your views on what the key priorities for the EU should be - so please email us at ................ ...... .

Thank you for visiting our site.
