One could list an unending series of objections
to the European "non-constitution" masquerading as the
Treaty of Lisbon but let two aspects demonstrate that the last
vestiges of Britain's sovereignty are being usurped by the 3,500
unelected, unsackable and unaccountable civil servants who work
for and whose loyalties are to the European Union.
1. Once this "treaty" is signed
the bureaucrats in Brussels will have obtained powers to seize
yet more powers—without the need for any new agreements.
This will be a political "open cheque". It is a disgrace
that it should even have been proposed—and is a fine example
of how the EU has a total disregard for democracy and the sovereignty
of this national (what is left of it which is not much) not to
mention the departed Prime Minister, Blair.
2. Once signed no member State (one should
then write that with a small "s") will be able to sign
any international agreements—relegating Britain to the status
of a local council and vassal state.
If signed, this treaty will be the final nail
in Britain's sovereignty—and one might ask "what would
be the point of a British Parliament other than to tell us which
day of the week to put out our dustbins?". In fact Brussels
has already started to tell us even that already. Any parliamentarian
who approves of the Treaty of Lisbon will be branded by history
as a traitor.
