Memo to Tories: If David Cameron has killed your party, join ours!

Poor Conservative Party EU-sceptics. Now the laughing stock of the world.

"Just you wait. David Cameron's only keeping quiet about the EU until he becomes Prime Minister. He'll get us our country back. Just you wait and see!"

Well he hasn't, has he?

And now those poor Conservative Party EU-sceptics are the laughing stock of the world.

Here's what the Wall Street Journal say:

"Almost unnoticed, his MPs have voted for a list of measures that would a few years ago have triggered full-scale Tory war. There was the expansion of justice and home-affairs powers, involving the extension of the so-called European arrest warrant. The European External Action Service—or EU diplomatic service—was nodded through. New regulations for the City of London require the establishment of three pan-European supervisory bodies. This was accepted by the Treasury and if there were protests from the Conservative benches they didn't make much noise. A higher budget for the EU has also been approved."

Their withering analysis concludes: "If it is not the death of U.K. Tory Euroskepticism, it looks a lot like it."

So, sorry to the lovely members of the Conservative Party. Your hearts are in the right place but, first you had David Cameron make a fool of you and second, you're now the laughing stock of the world as a consequence.

But don't worry. Join UKIP. Okay, the party isn't perfect, but instead of bitching about it, join us and change what you don't like from within.

It's the only choice you have left. David Cameron has killed your party, and it survives only in name - may it rest in peace.
