              Brown Prepares to Sell UK Out to Globalist EU
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008
Brown refuses to allow a referendum on the EU treaty, insists sovereignty be handed over to the globalists in Brussels Gordon Brown is bringing Britain’s political system into disrepute by refusing to hold a referendum on the EU Reform Treaty, the Tories have claimed. The accusation from William Hague, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, came as MPs of all parties lined up to demand a national vote before new powers are transferred to Brussels. Gordon Brown Mr Brown received an honorary doctorate from the University of Delhi in New Delhi, India, this week At the start of a five-week process to ratify the Treaty, tempers flared on both the Labour and Tory benches, after Speaker Michael Martin refused to allow an early vote on a referendum. Ian Davidson, the rebel Labour MP who has been rallying support for a referendum, said he was “very disappointed” by the Speaker’s decision. He vowed that last night’s failure to secure a vote was only the beginning of a “long battle”. He and a small number of other Labour MPs were preparing late last night to vote against giving the Bill necessary to ratify the Treaty a second reading. Launching the five-week ratification process, David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, denied the Treaty would mean any substantial transfer of power from the UK parliament and courts to Europe. “My case to this House is that this Treaty does not constitute fundamental constitutional change,” he said. He made clear he believed Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister, had been wrong to promise to hold a referendum in 2004 on the Constitutional Treaty, the predecessor to the Reform Treaty, which should also have been left to Parliament to approve. Tories jeered derisively at Mr Miliband’s insistence that the “tide of Euro-federalism” had turned. Frank Field, a former Labour minister, said a number of Commons select committees had “reported that there is no substantial difference between what was a constitution and is now a treaty”. Mr Hague said the most serious charge against the Government was that it wanted to take the Bill “through Parliament without any of the consultation of the people that was promised at the last election, brazenly abrogating the commitment made by every major political party in this House to hold a national referendum in this event.” By breaking their promise for a referendum they were spreading distrust in politicians and the political process. “Today in our country, the word of government is less readily believed than at any time in our modern history,” Mr Hague told MPs. “Ministers, instead of tackling the apathy and cynicism that brings will only add to it with the weasel words with which they try to escape their referendum and commitment, bringing in their wake a political process that will be further devalued and the passage of a Treaty whose democratic legitimacy will never be respected.” Have Your Say: Brown Prepares to Sell UK Out to Globalist EU Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
