UK to Hand Sovereignty to EU: 1,000 Years of History extinguished without a shot or vote
Hilary White reports on LifeSiteNews.com (3.6.2008):
Britain’s MPs voted yesterday to deny the public a referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon, the European Union’s substitute for the Constitution that failed in 2005 after being defeated by Dutch and French plebiscites. The House of Commons vote, 311 to 248 - a majority of 63 - defeated a Conservative amendment that would have allowed the British public a say in whether the treaty would come into effect in the country . . .
The Lisbon Treaty will see the creation of a permanent EU president, foreign minister and diplomatic service that are not subject to scrutiny by Parliament or accountable to the electorate, and surrenders nearly 50 national vetoes to Brussels. The new EU president will be a full-time Brussels official, serving a two-and-half-year term and will be chosen by Europe’s leaders . . .
"Everywhere we hear the smack of autocracy, as an out of touch government continues its battle against the British people and their liberties…The visceral hatred of democracy and liberty emanating from the government is now nauseating." . . .
