As a Texan FReeper, I am glad to have English representatives on FR. I am just curious, however - (and I am not trying to be inflammatory, just wanting to bring a topic up for discussion) - what your views are on the treaties that Queen Elizabeth has signed in the past and is scheduled to sign in regards to the European Union. There is concern not just here in the US but in Australia as well that sovereignty of the United Kingdom will be ultimately handed over to the unelected consortium of the EU. This alone boggles my mind that the British Crown would even consider such a thing, yet reports that I have read point out this has been going on for a number of years.
Hi Alkhin,
The UK is the most euro-sceptic country in Europe. The calls for a referendum on the new EU treaty (in which the UK has already secured unique opt-outs) are very loud. Its interesting: most Europeans (on the continent) now class themselves as European first and their nationality second. This is certainly not the case in the UK.
