Am I correct in thinking that the new constitution (read: revised treaties) allows a small group of functionaries (the commission?) to pass laws which Directly apply to each country, without any debate, or voting by the peoples of the respective countries? and that further, the commission, which originally had a representative from each country, now will be pared down to a select few of 18, so that many countries (possibly the UK) won’t even have a representative, participate in the debate or even know that a law is being debated until it is passed and enforced (on the UK)?

Well Roger or Richard or whoever you wish to be, there are only two political parties in the race, the Lib/Lab/Con fraternity and the BNP. As the former are made up of benefit cheats and scroungers who cheat the poor to enrich themselves, that leaves the BNP and I believe that they will do a credible job.

It’s Roger not Richard…. And if the BNP is the answer then we are asking the wrong question, that’s for sure!!!

Further to Richard Helmer’s remark: “If a UKIP or (heaven help us) a BNP government is our only hope, then there is no hope at all”. Even a single British National Party MP would act as “shock therapy” to the British Establishment and, in order to head off further advances by that party, our political Establishment would rapidly change direction over the EU, mass immigration, and many other policies, to ones that the “silent majority” would much prefer. Tho’ desirable, it is not necessary for the BNP to form a government at the next election in order to exert a huge political influence; it is the realisation of this that accounts for the venom with which they are attacked by the mainstream parties.

What we should have, of course, is a political party offering government by referenda, along the lines of http://www.1party4all.co.uk but as ONE PARTY where all the other disgruntleds could join without compromising on their principles.

Let’s face it, it is the only way to get out of the EU and the only way to be the only only protest party that represents the views of the politically marginalised, and that means all of us who are not MPs!

“Lord Lincs”: All I am saying is that I don’t think UKIP has a cat in hell’s chance of forming a government in Westminster. That’s not a disgrace. That’s common sense.

One moment, if you please, Lord Lincs. You say that U.K.I.P. are the only party openly advocating withdrawal from the E.U. This is patently incorrect as the British National Party are wholly committed to withdrawal as their website and publications are constantly proclaiming.
Your comments regarding the three main parties are spot on, though, as all of them wish to see we British wiped out as a nation people.

Roger Your comments on UKIP are a disgrace . They are the only minority party saying GET out of Europe. Your party whilst asking for a referendum on the EU actually are pro EU. So you are obviously in the wrong party.

I think David Boothroyd is right about Article IX of the Bill of Rights. It’s a long time since a British court attempted to overturn an Act of the British Parliament, in fact on the last occasion it may even have been an English court and the English Parliament. Not even if the ECJ tells it to do so, because although the ECJ fancies that it’s now our supreme legal authority the British courts haven’t yet accepted that claim. Still, it may be worth a go to see what the judges say on that score.
