Daniel Hannan Conservative MEP resigns from European Parliament post

In response to his party’s stance on the Lisbon Treaty, the Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan, has resigned as European legal spokesman only two months after taking up the post. Last night on his Telegraph blog,  Hannan, said he would be returning to the back benches in order to campaign for direct democracy that will see power in the hands of individual citizens. More from the UK Telegraph:

Mr Hannan’s resignation comes as David Cameron said he could not longer consider holding a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty now that it had been ratified by all 27 European Union countries.

He has instead decided to concentrate on clawing back some EU policies and never again allow powers to be passed to Brussels without a vote in Britain.

In his blog, Mr Hannan argues that the issue of referendums goes beyond Europe and the Lisbon Treaty.

“I want open primaries, popular initiative procedures, elected sheriffs, self-financing councils, an end to quangos, recall mechanisms and, yes, referendums – lots and lots of referendums,” he wrote.
