Parliament's confirmation Lisbon Treaty is Constitutional

The statement could not possibly be any clearer: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ EU (Amendment) Bill and the Lisbon Treaty: Implications for the UK Constitution

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Scope of the report

1. The remit of the Constitution Committee is to consider the constitutional implications of all public bills and to keep under review the operation of the constitution. There can be no doubt that the European Union (Amendment) Bill,[1] and the Lisbon Treaty which it aims to implement, are of constitutional significance. As the Committee recognised in its first ever report, the relationship between the United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union (EU) is of "first class constitutional importance".[2] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The people of Britain were promised a Referendum by all three political parties, part of the justification for this being subsequently denied was an assertion by the Government that there were no Constitutional implications. Parliament clearly refutes that position.

Ireland's leader is in London today to be bullied by the 'Great Clunking Fist' and complete incompetent Gordon Brown, into forcing his people, the only ones in the EU to be offered a referendum. to vote again on what will certainly be the exact same Treaty. It was gut-wrenchingly sickening to yesterday watch the Queen, who signed and lodged the Lisbon Treaty in Rome in the face of these broken promises to the British people, to perform the State Opening of Parliament before the assembled ranks of peers and MPs who have so recently sold out their country and now so clearly bankrupted the nation in this process. There are hopes in the Czech Parliament of further delay and Ireland remains a problem, but to be sure Britain will never be bound by the terms of EU withdrawal contained in the Lisbon Treaty the people of the UK must demand a referendum before final ratification.
