Right-wing Tory Euro-MP for the East Midlands Roger Helmer today suggests a Labour-Tory pact to stop the 'ideological nonsense' of 'LibDem zealots'...
Writing on Conservative Home, this morning, Helmer attacks Chris Huhne - the LibDem who is now Energy Secretary in the Coalition Government for promoting more wind-power rather than supporting a 21st century generation of nuclear power stations.
Citing the phrase 'criminally insane', Helmer believes Huhne is wrong to insist that not a penny of public money should be invested in a new generation of nuclear power to solve the impending energy crisis as the existing capacity is switched off at the end of its working life.
As a LibDem MEP in the not too distant past, pro-Euro Mr Huhne has no doubt clashed many times before with Euro-sceptic Mr Helmer who, by his own admission, 'hates' the European Union - probably more than he hates windfarms...
The fragile coalition demonstrates, modern politics makes for strange bed-fellows.
To use Helmer's description, Huhne as Energy Secretary in a Cameron Government may indeed be 'bizarre'...
But probably not quite as bizarre as Labour forming a pact with the likes of Mr Helmer...!
