Another letter in the Shropshire Star

My letter was published in the Shropshire Star yesterday.




Promise broken for a reason

There is a lot of talk about the EU Constitution being dead but is it?

Traitor Blair and his partners in crime tell us it is and that's why they're breaking their election promise and not holding a referendum on the EU Constitution.

Under the Vienna Convention, the treaty can only, come into force if all 25 member states ratify it.

However, Declaration 30 of the treaty also says-fcfiat as long as there are no more than five countries rejecting it, the treaty can be referred back to the European Council to try and get it approved again.

This is the real reason why the promised referendum has been cancelled.

It has nothing to do with the referendum being dead after receiving only two "no" votes, it is Tony Blair's way of ensuring his beloved constitution lives to see another day.
