Restoring an Absolute Momarchy

The Lisbon Treaty, Crown Copyright, available from the FCO and linked here, states: HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND, DESIRING to complete the process started by the Treaty of Amsterdam1 and by the Treaty of Nice2 with a view to enhancing the efficiency and democratic legitimacy of the Union and to improving the coherence of its action, HAVE RESOLVED to amend the Treaty on European Union3, the Treaty establishing the European Community4 and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community5, and to this end have designated as their Plenipotentiaries: ........................................................... HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND Gordon BROWN Prime Minister David MILIBAND Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs WHO, having exchanged their full powers, found in good and due form, HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS: AMENDMENTS TO THE TREATY ON EUROPEAN UNION AND TO THE TREATY ESTABLISHING THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY .................................................................... ARTICLE 9 C 1. The Council shall, jointly with the European Parliament, exercise legislative and budgetary functions. It shall carry out policy-making and coordinating functions as laid down in the Treaties. 2. The Council shall consist of a representative of each Member State at ministerial level, who may commit the government of the Member State in question and cast its vote. ................................................................... OH NO THEY MAY NOT! !!!!! NOT AT PRESENT ANYWAY! BUT if the Westminster Parliament ratifies this Treaty, England returns to the situation as it existed prior to the English Civil War under Charles I. Can this Treaty be read any other way? I am posing this question directly to William Hague and Tony Benn who gave evidence on plenipotentiary powers to the Commons Privileges Committee on 10th April 2003, linked here. As I received no reply to this earlier query, I fear this too will be similarly ignored. Are the English seriously about to allow all the gains of our bloody history to be reversed in such a manner?
