Blair is blamed but he makes sense.

Blair is blamed for this latest European crisis over the E.U budget but it seems really hard to not agree with him when he says this:

"It simply does not make sense in this new world for Europe to spend over 40 per cent of its budget on the common agricultural policy, representing five per cent of the EU population producing less than two per cent of Europe's output,"

And as he argued as well, 'the 40% of the EU budget taken up with agricultural subsidies was seven times the total amount spent by the EU on science, education and innovation.' So it is not really idiotic to consider that it might be time to consider goals worth of the 21^st century.
Where Blair is wrong is when he refuses to increase the E.U. budget at all, and I see Jean-Claude Juncker’s point when he spoke of a "cause for shame" after the EU's newest, and poorest, member states offered to take a cut in their shares if a deal could be brokered.
