CAP is unreformable

As the Daily Express points out:

The CAP costs British taxpayers £10.3billion-a-year and researchers claim it has made food here a fifth more expensive. It also gives our farmers a raw deal compared to the French, Germans and Italians.

Brussels bureaucrats have bound the agricultural industry in red tape and doled out millions of pounds in subsidies to wealthy landowners, claims the report Food For Thought, compiled by the TaxPayers’ Alliance.

And as Nigel points out:

UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the solution was to get out of Europe.

“Every British Prime Minister and opposition leader has promised at every single election that they will reform the CAP but they have not,” he said. “We will never reform the CAP because the French won’t let it happen. We’re paying a fortune for our food to subsidise rich landowners.”

It’s not possible to refom it from within. Simply not politically possible. So the only thing we can do is leave and be free of the entire nonsense.
