Ireland bailout payment, 15 Dec 2010 [Clear]

After the financial collapse in the Republic of Ireland and their economic difficulties which have been exacerbated by the euro the Government asked the House of Commons to approve the borrowing of £7 billion to ‘loan’ to a state that has been all but bankrupted by its membership of the Single Currency.

In important votes in the House of Commons if an MP votes to protect or preserve Britain’s democracy and economy from EU interference they are awarded a score of plus 2. If the MP votes in a way that harms our freedom, prosperity and sovereignty the MP receives a vote of minus 2. In the face of pressure from the Whips acting on behalf of their pro-EU leadership an abstention receives a score of plus 1. In the referendum of 23rd June 2016 if your MP supported Leave, they are awarded 10 points. If, however, they supported Remain then a score of minus 10 will be applied.
