Britain's Constitutional Crisis WILL Spillover to the EU

What started as a simple matter of outrageous expense account fiddling is now growing to something far bigger, signs of which are beginning to appear. Historians will most probably note that this is the beginning of the end of the corrupt EU. The crux of the matter is really quite simple and increasingly widely known. It applies everywhere within the 27 EU member states, is simply explained and unavoidable. Members of the national parliaments of the EU member states, mostly without referendums on the most recent federalist changes, have handed about three-quarters of their legislative and oversight responsibilities to an outside third party - namely the EU. IN SPITE OF THIS WELL KNOWN FACT THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO RECEIVE THEIR PAY, PERKS AND PENSIONS AS IF THEY RETAINED FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT. In boom economic periods this has gone unremarked. In a severe economic recession it is quite frankly unacceptable. With two weeks to go before the polling weekend for the clearly neutered, wasteful and largely detested European Parliament, voter's disgust will now most likely spread across the Continent like a plague. As this blog earlier advised these elections should have been canceled as in this economic bust the cash strapped workers of Europe should not be committed to financing another five years of abuse by the MEP leeches. Therefore while this started as a protest against a rotten expense system in the UK Parliament, the real affect will be to highlight how even reasonable and normal pay and pension conditions cannot be afforded for those only performing one quarter of their duties.
