The End of Democracy as we know it
On the first of December this year, democrcy as we know it dies in Europe. On this day the Lisbn Treaty (Aka the European Constitution) enters force. To put the effects of this into plain English, what this means is that one of the most undemocratic political systems in the world has FULL CONTROLL of every aspect of our lives, they can make laws, enforce taxes and even raise an army (The Eurocorps), and westminter has no say whatsoever on this. They can not veto, opt out or say no to this. Effectively Westmister is now a devolved parliament, with few more powers than Holyrood. What we have effectively done is handed near on complete controll of our nation over to a buerocratic morass on a scale not seen since the fall of the Soviet Union, our once great nation has now handed itslef over to a system that is a near on carbon copy of and with similar democratic standards to the Soviet Union. and like in the USSR, the leaders of the union are elected not by the electorate (me and you), not even by the people the electorate elect to represent them (The MEP's), but the buerocrats, the pencil pushing desk jockeys who have never been elected by anyone to anything, people who are not accounatbe to us, and they put people in charge of what is the most powerfull group of nations on the planet who have no accounatbility to the people, no experience of "real life" and the people over whom the legislate have no idea who they are, yet the president of the EU gets a salary greater than Barrack Obama. This is yet another example of the political classes of Europe imposing their will on a mostly unaware electorate, but they are building resentment, with their reems upon reems of needless buerocracy, and the worst bit about all of this we, the electorate, can do NOTHING to stop this Eurocratic monolith from crashing though our lives. We have no say at all in the EU,as the MEP's, with all respect to the men and women who do those jobs, and the few who try to act as opposition in the parliament, can do little to stop this, as all the true power lies with the buerocrats who come up with endless ammounts of mostly uneccesary, and ever more restrictive red tape. They come up with 3000 new laws every year, not 3000 amendments, 3000 completely new laws every year that apply to the whole EU. That is the same ammount that Westmister has introduced since 2000. That is a rediculous ammount of legislation, which Britain has no ability to avoid now. Welcome to Europe, you'll never leave.
