He promised a referendum on the constitution and is now trying to pretend this so-called ‘treaty’ that contains over 90% of the rejected constitution does not need one. While Gordon Brown is keeping his head down and hoping it will all blow over.<BR/><BR/>How dare they? We are not <I>their subjects</I>, they are <I>our servants</I>, elected to represent <I>our views</I> and guard <I>our rights</I>. They derive any mandate they have from us.<BR/><BR/>This is another absolutely glaring example of just how ambivalent to the democratic process the EU actually is. Especially with the European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso urging the UK not to hold a referendum.CFD Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14176957304124700156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17899393.post-87668731914241722512007-06-26T08:03:00.000+01:002007-06-26T08:03:00.000+01:00A Constitution should limit the power of politics....A Constitution should limit the power of politics. <BR/>Therefore: <BR/>Vote Yes to Free Europe Constitution at www.FreeEurope.infoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
