Peter Lilley's message is clear - 80 per cent of Britain's laws are now made in Brussels and Parliament has no power to reject or amend them
This is utter b******s. This government has made around one new law every day that it has been in office, and relatively few result from our various treaties with other states or in particular the EU.
The exact percentage is not the point. If the rate at which new laws come onto the statute book has accelereated, it could be a desperate ploy by Westminster to save face by reducing the proportion of laws imposed by EU directives. But the transfer of legislative power in the more important matters is a reality.
And, contrary to what another poster stated, the decision to wage war and to conscript British men and women into an EU army is part of the Lisbon Treaty. Ireland's No vote will not stop it. Either the Irish will be ordered to vote again and get it "right," or the rest of the EU will go ahead with the Treaty, with temporary exemptions for Ireland. And since the British ruling group are all for it, yes, after a while our masters in Brussels will have the legal power to declare war on behalf of Britain and to conscript you into a Euro army and send you to fight with little or no proper equipment in the North Korean winter or whatever......... How did you let it go as far as this? Why have you not withdrawn Britain from the EU long ago?????????
