Local Elections - stop the Moral Nihilism!

Today is your only chance to register any disgust you may feel at the three major parties corruption of our political processes and castration of our Westminster Parliament. A German member of that country's Parliament has finally had the courage to compare the EU Reform Treaty to Adolf Hitler's Enabling Act that opened the door to totalitarianism by the destruction of democracy in Germany in the 1930s. We all know the consequences of those events yet our corrupt politicians and their colleagues in Parliaments across the EU are conniving in a repition of those dreadful events. (The full text of the speech may be read and the video viewed on my posting below at this time yesterday). A feature of totalitarianism is moral nihilism, the belief that the ends justify the means, what better description could there be of the process being employed to ram the Lisbon Treaty through the Parliaments of the EU Nations without their voters consent! There are independent and small party candidates across the country genuinely opposed to this destruction of democracy through the Lisbon Treaty. Vote for them. The European Parliament cannot protect your democratic rights, that institution voted to ignore any democratic rejection of the Constitutional Treaty by the Irish Referendum by 499 votes to 129 (Amendment 32). In the London Assembly a good summary of the alternative groups standing may be read from a Guardian article of yesterday, linked here. Although the English Democrat Mayoral Candidate dropped out in the high profile Mayoral personality contest between the two main contenders that Party might be worth your vote in the Assembly election and the One London members have done good work for the city in the last session. A view of the kind of exposure we might expect from an English Democrat representation is shown in the Freedom of Information details at the end of this post, in which Shakespeare's birthday costs have been used to boost St George's day expenses to make them appear slightly comparable to the huge sums spent on St Patrick's Day. The main priority today must be to send a message to Brown, Cameron and Clegg that they have no mandate to sell our nation's sovereignty for party funding via the EU and that our democracy is not theirs to destroy.

An English Democrats "Freedom of Information" question, has revealed that Ken Livingstone has lied to give the impression that expenditure on St Georges Day Events is equal to expenditure on St Patricks Day. (Initially his office first response gave no breakdown of expenditure) The weasel has included events such as Shakespeare's Birthday, as it if is a St George's Day Event. Naturally our greatest playwright should be celebrated, but this is coincidence that it is on the same day as St Georges Day. ================================================== ================ From Ken Livingstones Office In response to your query please see details below of a breakdown of spend on St. George's Day and St. Patrick's Day for 2006, 2007 and 2008.
