Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on A Citizens’ Agenda.


A Citizens’ Agenda

I strongly agree with my hon. Friend about people becoming alienated when they are ignored. Does she agree that citizens’ sense of being ignored—when they need jobs and their welfare state is under threat, and so forth—is a factor in the rise of the extreme right in parts of Germany and elsewhere in Europe, and that that presents a very dangerous possibility for the future of Europe?
