Pamphlet 2
Europe & the rights of the people of Britainto question the status quo
Questioning the status quo:
- the right to a government which responds to the preferences of the people
- the right to be defended against arbitrary decisions
- the right of communties to sustain their way of life
The Concern
In Holland one sees a parliament taking decisions on the European Amending Treaty because the government does not want the people who elected them to have a referendum which might decide against the treaty as, indeed, they did with the previous incarnation of that document. In Britain we have a government which wants to do the same.
Avoiding the involvement of the people is carrying our society towards a state of affairs which we as a nation have sought to avoid for some 800 years, at least. This is the defence of the individual against arbitrary and harmful decisions. Europe has changed significantly during the last decade because of the increasing politicization of the European judiciary as a result of the last two European enlargements increasing to 37% the share of judges from former one-party states. This subjects British companies and individuals to arbitrary decisions against which there is no appeal.
Lastly, even without any further changes in European treaties the current situation is one where massive EU immigration is already disrupting local communities. This is only the first and obvious consequence of poor EU Law and irresponsibility of British politicians. The more serious consequent issue is that such EU citizens have the right ot vote in municpal elections and some Labour party members are in favour of their voting in general elections. This means not only that currently British communities are unable to protect their way of life but European Law provides a legal basis for continued disruption through allowing participation in the selection of local, and perhaps eventually national, governance.
The are therefore three questions:
"Is it right that British minority governments continue to impose their decisions of national subjugation to the European Union without any reference to the people subject to such impositions, the people of Britain?
and
"Is it right that British Laws and the freedom of the people of this country should continue to be exposed to increasingly arbitrary, corrupt and politicized European Courts?"
and
"Is it right that people from European Member States should be able to migrate to the United Kingdom to specific English constituencies, in such numbers, that they can vote and determine the outcome of municipal elections against the wishes of local communities?"
