Coalition breaking apart at the seams.

It was always likely that it would be the EU in the background of the falling apart of the Cameron/Clegg Coalition. The signs that this is so are clear in the breakdown within the Committee considering Human Rights, where the factions are actually described as "Cameron appointees" or "Clegg appointees", see the leaked email in this Daily Telegraph report as follows:

“I wish to put on record now the view that I have already expressed - namely, that our present funding is completely insufficient. It is not a matter of marginal additional funding but of substantial additional funding…
“At the moment, some of the Clegg appointees have the benefit of work by members of trusts and personal staffs. As far as I am aware, the Cameron appointees lack any such facilities. It seems reasonable to allocate at least a part of the staff to servicing the Cameron group. In order to avoid bias, I suggest an equal allocation of staff time to the Clegg appointees...
"I gather from friends at the Council of Europe that the UK is exceptionally heavily populated with pressure groups on human rights and related matters. They are fully entitled to express their view. But these views already are well articulated and well known.
"While we need to be open to such pressure groups and to official bodies associated with them (such as the EHRC) we need to be careful that their demands for access to the Commission do not crowd out those of the 'silent majority'."
