Vote for a Referendum
My Telegraph: Telegraph Campaigns: June 2007: Let the people decide
We believe that the EU Reform Treaty will make significant changes to the way in which Britain is governed, permanently alienating powers from Westminster to Brussels, notably through:
* A European Head of State
* An EU diplomatic corps and foreign minister
* A common system of criminal justice and a European Public Prosecutor
* The abolition of 40 national vetoes
* Bestowing on the EU the ‘legal personality’ and treaty-making powers of a sovereign state
* Reducing Britain’s voting strength in Council of Ministers meetings by 30 per cent
All three parties promised a referendum on such changes at the 2005 general election. We believe that they should stand by their manifesto commitments, and that the Reform Treaty should come into effect only following approval in a national referendum.
Let the Telegraph know if you agree or not by following the link and voting.
