I am British I was raised and educated as British and until very recently I never considered myself as anything else but British. When Our Present Prime minister was first elected to power I was so inured to being British that I did not even notice that he was Scottish, it was totally immaterial to me.

It was oddly a Scottish politician who first pointed out that the plans for a Scottish Parliament would create an imbalance in our Contusion, and would produce two types of MPs; those who were accountable to their constituents and those who were not, this would be difficult to tolerate.

The leader of Turkey’s ultra-nationalist opposition party warned yesterday that the country could face a serious threat of division if the process to grant rights to Turkish citizens of Kurdish origins demanded by the European Union is not stopped.

If this dark process is not stopped, our country will be drifting into a federal state structure with, at the beginning, one and then many partners sharing its sovereignty, Devlet Bahçeli, leader of the Nationalist
Movement Party (MHP) said yesterday at his party’s group meeting in Parliament.

The MHP believes the reforms made for EU membership will weaken the unitary structure of the state and argues that Turkish citizens of Kurdish origins will be encouraged to demand self-determination rights.

Turkey was facing the danger of losing its national identity through EU impositions, Bahçeli advised that the country should review its ties with the 27-member bloc before its relations worsen. Today’s conditions and the philosophy of the ongoing negotiations make it clear that we cannot share a joint future with Europe

It was the executive that used the three line whip and rewrote the rules to use the guillotine to push this through parliament.

Richard Laming is abusing democracy when argues that Stuart Wheeler is abusing the Constitution of the UK by issuing a legal action to force the Prime minister to stand by his personal and his party’s commitment to hold a referendum on the EU treaty.

It would be far too easy to attack Lamming on a personal level because of his commitment to the EU, our membership of which has done more to abuse the British Constitution than anything else in the past thirty years. But that would not achieve much other than making me feel a lot better.
