Do Britons have any idea of the importance of EU Article 6?

The majority of us probably do know about this but non of us want to stand up and protest because we'd probably be thrown into the back of transit van, and shipped off to some far away prison or institution. Plus, even if you could persuade thousands to join a march, permission for the march would probably be denied. We've had several referendom promises from the Labour party of the UK but these are just lies, empty promises. They know they are on their way out but they are trying to stay in long enough to pass EU laws which mean that they can still run the country from outside its boundries. Lets hope that the newly elected government of this country has some clever tricks up its sleaves.

now thanks to you, 0.001% does that mean if the EU decides to destroy the US we'd have to aswell?

Yes and that is why I regard the signatory of this disgusting treaty as a traitor

Do you realise that the UK doesn't have a constitution? No...because you don't know what you are talking about. Stupid. No scholars would agree with that nonsense.. Pretentious ****. Do your own f*c*i*g homework.

You will know that The Heath Government took the country to vote in a referendum to decide if we should join "The Common Market". We were not told then and few seem to understand now that the "Yes" vote on this began us on an irreversible pathway into "the Federal States of Europe" Europe, undesirable as it is, is inevitable. A bit like income tax really -or the grave.

It's an interesting subject of power. More (global) decentralisation of government? But all new proposals would be something negotiated, discussed by all members, with different economic, political interests at heart, surely? Not just some bulldozer decision making we all would have to stick to. What about abstaining? What if it would improve standards in the quality, standards of vital provisions and conditions we all so desperately desire; schools, housing, transport, workers rights, nat.min.wage... Are people also worried about losing something British? Or retaining the foundations of our politics but also gaining a 'modification'? The general public is usually aware when they feel the effects of such political changes but I hope it's all for the better and I will read up on this a bit because it is baffling stuff. There is also the press that will whip up a lot of scaremongering soon.

That is from the defunct EU Constitution, the EU Reform Treaty Article 6 is in relation to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms which both the UK and Poland have opted out of. Also the EU cannot do anything not conferred to it by the treaties, those powers rest with the member states, this is in Article 2(6) as well as Article 3a(1) and all of Article 3b.

We don't have a constitution. I think a United States of Europe is the way forward and Britain should play a leading part in it.
