29/5/15: When the Chickens Come Home to Roost: EU 'Constitution'


Daniel Hannan on the 10th anniversary of French and Dutch referenda on EU Constitution: http://www.capx.co/10-years-on-from-the-french-non/.

This is a must-read, and it is short, but the best summary of the entire piece is the following passage: "As Jean-Claude Juncker put it the other day, “There can be no democratic choice against the European Treaties”. Which puts the coming British renegotiation into perspective. Whatever deal is notionally agreed, as long as the legal supremacy of the EU institutions remains, it will be interpreted by people whose commitment to deeper integration overrides whatever belief they have in freedom, democracy or the rule of law."

On the money, there, @DanHannanMEP !
