Poland's President under French Pressure over Lisbon.

The Russian gas interruption is being cited as further cause for pushing through the Lisbon Treaty which is understandable enough as once signed Britain loses control of its North Sea hydrocarbon resources just as surely as it was duped out of its fish. The report of fresh pressure on the Polish President to sign may be read from this link. Meanwhile in the FT today David Cameron's pathetic apology for a policy on the EU is hinted at in all its confusion, read here. I ask you what can be made from these quotes: David Cameron, leader of Britain's opposition Conservatives, has vowed to wreck the EU's Lisbon treaty if he emerges victorious from any early general election in the first half of this year.... The Tories believe the treaty - which would create a new EU president and foreign minister and simplify the Union's decision-making procedures - would have the effect of transferring too much power to Brussels.... Mr Cameron says his party is united in its approach to Europe, which includes breaking off its alliance in the European parliament with French and German centre-right parties. How can the Treaty be OK if it is already ratified when he takes power when it "would have the effect of transferring too much power to Brussels"? How can the party be "united in its approach to Europe" when a weekend poll showed 35 per cent of Conservative supporters felt none of the parties reflected their view on Europe and there is a group of his own MP supporting a referendum whether or not Lisbon has been ratified. Truth is his party is united in funking the issue in the vain hope they will gain the perks of Government even knowing the powers have been lost - a morally reprehensible standpoint as it demonstrates they are only in politics for the money and perks! Just like the Labour Party! We must now look to foreigners to salvage our democracy - Irish, Poles, Czechs and YES even the French - after all it was the latter who were the first to reject the EU Constitution and they have not as yet had their final say!
