Britain's Tea Partier's Want To Leave The Nanny EU State

This article describes some of the growing sentiment in Britain against the European Union that it joined under the leadership of a conservative government.  The last straw for a conservative member of Parliament was an EU restriction on motor bike modifications.  The "Nanny State" went too far when it interfered with one of his favorite passtimes. I doubt that the motor bike law affected his views on integration with Europe, but it provided a good opportunity for him to stake a position that is becoming increasingly popular with the British electorate.  Many have nostalgia for the days when Britannia ruled the waves.  The substantive issue in Britain is whether it can succeed economically outside of the EU.
