The EU - more market-driven than the Conservative Party

As David Cameron tells his 1922 Committee that he is prepared to use the 'nuclear option' of the Parliament Act to tie the hands of the next government into holding a referendum on the EU in 2017 (a very undemocratic action in that it pre-empts the manifestos of the Opposition).  Luckily, it is just noise, as Liberal Democrats will sink such a Bill in the Commons before Cameron can come down all heavy on the Lords.
Here's something you won't here often - the European Commission mounting an investigation in the nuclear power station planned for Hinkley Point, stating that consumers could pay £17 billion in potentially unnecessary subsidies to fund the plant's construction.  Ironically, despite being lambasted for Tories for being overly regulating in its approach, the EC says it thinks the construction can be achieved by market forces alone, without state intervention.  When Marcus Regius, chief executive of Grangemouth oil refinery, says that energy in the UK is the most expensive in the world and that the French recently built a nuclear power plant for half that which is proposed for Hinkley Point, it just goes to show that being outside the EU would allow Cameron and his cronies to stitch up British consumers with astronomical prices as they cosy up to the big energy companies.  Maybe that's the real reason many Tories want to leave the EU.
