Another proof from the European elites that Labour vows to break its own manifesto commitment. More evidence that Labour is fundamentally dishonest:
The new European Union Treaty has been designed to "keep the advances" of the old constitution "that we would not have dared present directly", a senior Brussels figure has admitted.
Hans-Gert Poettering, president of the European Parliament and a close ally of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, made the admission in a letter to Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, the architect of the discarded EU Constitution.
Mr Poettering stressed that the new treaty, while complicated, would preserve the constitution by a different, more indirect method.
Should we call OLAF round to pat him on the back? The European Commission has already warned that pressures in Member States require co-operation from opposition parties for parliamentary ratification or could force more countries down the referendum route. Wouldn't these be interesting developments?
