Veto? - Don't Make Me Laugh!

Veto? What veto? UK government votes fail to block a single European Union measure

BRITISH government votes failed to block a single European Union measure during David Cameron's first five years in office, new research showed yesterday.
It also suggests that although Britain seems to pick its fights by formally objecting in only a relatively few cases,  its No has now not stopped a measure put to a vote from going through for at least 19 years.
The stark statistics were seized on by eurosceptics as evidence of how powerless the UK is in Europe despite the claims by those who argue British influence in Brussels makes it worth our while to stay at the table.
The fresh analysis covered votes at EU Council of Ministers level - where ministers from member state governments hammer out rules and regulations across all areas of policy - between May 2010 when Mr Cameron become coalition Prime Minister and May this year when he was re-elected to run a Tory-only administration.
