SINCE WHEN is taking over the sovereignty of a country by unelected elitist thuggery a democratic process?
That is exactly what the Lisbon Treaty does. The EU Constitution was voted down, so they strip out a national anthem, move a deck chair here and there, and out comes a treaty.
Now both will allow the EU to be run by unelected, unaccountable politicians. As I said on another thread, sort of like having the President, Senate and House elect themselves and you little people zip your lips and obey.
The difference is that a Constitution required quite a few votes of the people whereas a treaty only needs to be confirmed by the same people that will benefit from it.
No conflict of interest there! s/
