Given the original poster's username, I think we should expect him to hold some... unusual opinions.

Besides, given that username, he's too dead to contribute (and is in any case from the UK, where most of those `special interests' are opinions held not just the majority but the vastly overwhelming majority of the populace, as is true across the rest of the EU, with the possible exception for abortion rights of Eire.)

Hmm, the above isnt true. Ireland is not the only EU country which restricts abortion, Portugal and two new member states, Poland and Malta, do too (Malta also holding a get-out clause on any EU directives on abortion, as Ireland does, presumably Poland negotiated something similar too, not sure.).
