MEP VOTE DAMNS MALTA ON PASSPORTS

MEPs on Thursday passed a resolution urging Malta to review its EU passport sales scheme by 550 against 22. The non-binding motion comes after stinging criticism by mainstream MEPs and by the European Commission on Wednesday, but Maltese PM Joseph Muscat has said he plans to go ahead anyway.

    To err is human. To persist in error is Labour.

    The Labour Party forms part of the Socialist Group in the EU Parliament. I believe that this group is much more than 18 (22 against the resolution less the 4 maltese). So how did the Socialist group vote? Can we have the voting as per group?

    [Daphne – http://www.votewatch.eu/en/eu-citizenship-for-sale-joint-motion-for-resolution-vote-resolution-as-a-whole.html The Socialists voted for the motion and against the sale of citizenship.]
