MPs ought to pay for EU treachery

A little local problem

Shropshire Star

MPs voted not to give us a referendum on the EU Reform Treaty by 311 to 248, this is despite all three main parties promising a referendum.

Labour and the Lib Dems both claim that the EU Reform Treaty and EU constitution are different enough not to warrant a referendum – this is an outright lie.

The EU Reform Treaty produces the same end result as the constitution except references to the flag and anthem of the EU are moved to an appendix which is voluntary.

The constitution replaced existing treaties, the EU Reform Treaty amends them. The payload is the same, it is the method of delivery that is different.

A private referendum by iwantareferendum.com showed that 88 per cent of the electorate wants a referendum on the treaty. David Wright and all the other (mainly Labour) MPs who voted against a referendum did so in the full knowledge they were going against the wishes of their constituents.

I will do everything I can to ensure that David Wright loses his seat at the next election for his treachery.

Good for you namesake. If thousands of other people did
the same in each constituency where the sitting MP reneged
on the party’s promise to let us have a referendum, they
would soon learn that treachery and flaunting the
expectations and wishes of the electorate by voting against
them would cost them very dear.
But we shouldn’t be to surprised should we, manifestos
mean nothing, promises are meant to be broken, waffle,
rhetoric, downright deceit, spin and betrayal are all the
stock in trade of MPs, particularly those of New Labour.

They promised a referendum on a constiution. This wasn’t a constitution, it was a treaty, no more significant in many ways than those that have gone before. The ‘Little Englanders’ lost – end of story.

I posted not yet moderated!

 Well done Peter top marks for blindly and unquestionable following the party line.

However no matter what they call the Lisbon thingy it will become the constitution of the EU, just like all previous treaties.  The EU treaties are treaties between nation states, they set up and define the rules for a third party in this case the EU. Hence Lisbon is the constitution of the EU.  

You are of course totally free to believe anything you wish, but please do not try to pull the wool over the eyes of people who have studied the European Project because we do happen to know of  what we speak.

And please do try to be reasonably up to date with your insults – Little Englanders -when out with the ark, can you people not ever manage to keep up with an ever changing world of empty meaningless rhetoric.
