Does the handling of the EU Constitution/Lisbon Treaty tell you everything you need to know about the EU?

Question

It's rather old news I know, but we will be living with the consequences for many years.

And to me, it completely sums up the EU and it's attitude towards the people.

(And incidently, the attitude of it's peoples to it!)

Answer 1

Yes...the EU's wishes count, not the peoples. The state comes first,"soviet style".

EU dictatorial power is on the horizon....  

Answer 2

As you say it rather old news but the worrying part should be that people just seem to except it and move on.Where are the people that should still be up in arms i ask.Its hardly any wonder at times we have been taken over by a foreign government really is it?

Answer 3

What I can't believe is how passive the European people have been. The consolidation of power in Brussels is amazing. What I have read is that EU powers will supersede any national/local laws.

Answer 4

Of course not.  The issues are far more complex than that.

The pros and coins on EC membership are wide-ranging.

Answer 5

Oui/ja. You vill do vhat ve vant you to do even if the mass of your people don't vant it.

Answer 6

Across Europe, there is very little support for the Treaty. Ireland is one of the more pro-Europe countries!

Gordon CHEATED the British people out of their right to deceide simply to keep his hand, and ONLY his hand, on the 'helm' of Europe. A helm being pulled on by many other hands. But Gordie is not unique. With the exception of the Irish PM, every other European leader has cheated their people too. Sadly, both the Lib Dems and the New Tories are both eager to grab their bit of the helm.

Britain's have a LONG memory.

Answer 7

A political entity created by the political elite for the political elite. As for the people "well let them eat cake".

Answer 8

There is no such word as no in the EU sums it up for me.

Answer 9

arrogant, arbitrary, and dictating. and there are still some in this country who can't get enought of it. my god how stupid can you get?

Answer 10

Brown and Milliband are Traitors who sold us out.

They should go on Trial and spend the rest of their lives in Jail.

It might be 20 or 50 or 100 years but,  oneday.......we WILL fight to take back the Independence that has just been given away by the Closet Commies of New Labour.

Answer 11

Of course it does.  The sooner we leave it the better.
