BBC's Nick Robinson on Lord Tebbit
Tuesday, 12th May 2009
BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson has his own take on Lord Tebbit's comments in the Daily Mail and on BBC TV that voters should not support any of the three major parties in the European elections.
Robinson writes on his blog: "For a former chairman of the Conservative Party and an icon of the Thatcher era to invite voters at next month's European elections to boycott his party is extraordinary.
"Norman Tebbit did not say "vote UKIP" - he knows that to have done so would have led to his instant expulsion from the Tories - but he might just as well have.
"Lord Tebbit says that his advice is a protest against Westminster's abuse of expenses. Methinks it might just have something to do with the issue of Europe."
