There is no question of some kind of socialist monolith crushing individuality between member-states.<br /><br />Now that we have Lisbon passed, albeit completely watered down thanks to opposition, we can begin to rebuild a more democratic and functional EU. For all of us, and political harmonisation shall be neccessary.<br /><br />After all, a spill over effect when one tries for an EU single market, for free trade and fair regulation is a degree of political harmonisation and "europeanisation". Especially for the UK.<br /><br />Ultimately it comes down to whether or not we British are willing to rally to Edward Heaths call to arms: "it is time for Britain to take it's place in our common European destiny."<br /><br />Hear hear!Dean MacKinnon-Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221192592535723681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-16923004764730928242010-02-04T22:09:26.169+00:002010-02-04T22:09:26.169+00:00And not one of the expense-stealing, weasel-wordin...And not one of the expense-stealing, weasel-wording, focus-groupie, promise-breaking, scumbag leaders of the main parties has the courage to ask the people what they want!!<br /><br />Bastards all!!JohnRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021101596935644363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-74740153692877602822010-02-04T22:08:05.021+00:002010-02-04T22:08:05.021+00:00Democracy?

One of the reasons they are scoundrels is that they do not bother to attend debates or even read the legislation they will be voting on. Too much business to be done in the bars, or too much lounging around on expensive furniture that we paid for in one of their multiple homes.<br /><br />There is nothing for it. It all has to be swept away: it is too corrupt to be fixed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
