non partisan comment on the European Union and Westminster politics

 

“If voting changed anything, they’d abolish it.”

“If voting changed anything, they’d abolish it.”

Even before the member states had signed the constitution the Eurocrats began setting up “a European diplomatic service, a European president, a European foreign minister, a European space policy, the working of the new European charter of fundamental rights setting up a new European fundamental rights agency, and the abandoning the national veto on immigration and asylum a European space policy, a European defence agency. Setting up the offices of Europe’s first permanent president claiming that “There is an awful lot of work to set it up: the office and all the support teams,” and “We can’t just leave it to the last moment.”

Jack Straw said on BBC that there are some things that they could implement even without the constitution, because they were already agreed, of course they were agreed, otherwise they would not have signed the Constitution, but they were agreed by the EU elites and not the people. Signing is not ratifying, to do that they must have a referendum, because that was a promise at the election. Stopping the referendum but continuing implementing parts of the constitution will not have the backing of the people and is contempt for the people and contempt for democracy.
