How a few wish to decide for many


Britain has been signed away. Foreign Secretary David Miliband signed the hated European Union Treaty, even though Britain's voters have proclaimed that they wished their leaders to say no to the treaty.

The treaty allows the European Union to make laws over Britain's right to make their own laws, allows for illegal immigrants to receive the same rights as the citizens, and any legal matter may be relayed to the European Court of Justice, giving final say of British matters to unelected European Community judges. Critics of the EU Treaty claim that it is no different than the ill-fated EU Constitution which died two years ago after French and Dutch rejections.

This treaty also puts in place a powerful permanent EU president and foreign minister. Essentially, the powers of the European Union will be handed to unelected bureaucrats and judges. The British people were not given the opportunity to vote on the EU Treaty, and are specifically angry over a number of provisions in the treaty that essentially hands immigrants more powers, and takes away the advantages of British citizenship.

Are we next? How feasible is the North American Union? Is Bush completely insane with his globalist push?


The following are the EU treaty rules that are considered to be controversial by the British voters:

1. Collective expulsions are prohibited.
2. No one may be removed, expelled or extradited to a State where there is a serious risk that he or she would be subjected to the death penalty, torture or other inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
