Very important decisions are being made by Ministers without any parliamentary debate or vote. This must be bad for Britain. Our place in Europe and respect by the rest of the world is being constantly eroded. Then there is the huge waste of tax payers money, which could be put to much better use here in the UK.DavidM31https://www.blogger.com/profile/05103284629663517377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36227136.post-30747282614926696862011-01-29T10:55:05.909+00:002011-01-29T10:55:05.909+00:00The whole set up at the House of Commons is a poli...The whole set up at the House of Commons is a political party fix, aimed at ensuring Great Britain becomes part of a European State without giving the British public a say in the matter.<br /><br />When a referendum was discussed on the Lisbon treaty 248 Conservatives (in opposition of course) voted for to have a referendum. Our Mr Hague stated at that time to Parliament he agreed with the view quoted as: “The aim of the rejected Constitutional Treaty was to be more readable: the aim of the (Lisbon) Treaty is to be unreadable”. He also stated the Treaty gave away too much British Sovereignty. It is clear, since being in power, Conservatives wish to keep the same ‘unreadable Lisbon Treaty’ as part of laws running this Country. They have whipped their MPs to vote against all proposals strengthening legislation for the people to have a referendum on Europe. In the current round of legislation it has been pathetic to see less than six Conservatives vote for safeguards, making the whole debate in Parliament a pre-fixed behind the scenes farce. I remind the reader again, when in opposition (of course) they could proudly boast 248 Conservative MPs wanted a referendum on a Treaty, which they claim was unreadable. Now they vote to ensure security for that same Treaty. Such deceit does not justify representing the British Public. When, oh when, is a party going to be elected to serve the British people?John E.

We need to get out of the EU as quickly as possible and put the money saved to good use at home. We also would return power on all legal matters to the UK courts.pgthaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169855379516159646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36227136.post-7651602807138905872011-01-27T22:03:59.259+00:002011-01-27T22:03:59.259+00:00"We could also point to the 90 or more EU law..."We could also point to the 90 or more EU laws that the UK Government could either decide to opt out of altogether in 2014, or remain signed up to (giving EU judges new powers.)
