No Independence for Britain or England

I will be celebrating American Independence Day today so will leave my own suggestions for British Constitutional change, mainly means of breaking the control on power by the two party system, until a later occasion. The pointless and tinkering proposals of Gordon Brown detailed in Parliament yesterday, may be read from this link. Predictably Brown ruled out any referendum on the EU Reform Treaty. Does anybody out there believe that Brown would have made it into 10 Downing Street if the country's controllers through Brussels thought for a moment that a UK referendum might be on the cards? So for today I will celebrate that so many of our English speaking cousins across the world have managed to escape European tyranny and maintain common law, democracy and individual rights in so many other parts of the globe. Happy Independence Day.
