#1 I feel lots of things upon reading this news, none of them relief.

#2 The EU is now a single sovereign country regardless of how they want to call it.

If this "treaty" (aka constitution) is accepted then Britain, France, Germany, etc. should be stripped of their UN seats and all replaced with one EU seat.

Same thing with all International Organizations.
What we are witnessing is a bloodless coup of monumental proportions.

#3 Relief, non.

Hysterical betrayal, yes.

This going to be argued in UK parliament without a Referendum, about 35 Labour MPs need to cross the floor.

Pork.

That, or each one of our states get a seat too. That would be interesting.

#5 I'm not too sure I'd like to see California have a seat at the UN. Or Massachusetts, Maryland, Vermont...

#6 P2K & NS, I actually suggested that in my original comment; then deleted it when I remembered that I live in Massachusetts!

LOL 8^)

#7 It's a coup.

I hope you can do everything you can to help counter it.

#8 It's a done deal. No one wants to counter it. 1,000 years plus of Common Law down the tubes. And nobody lifted a finger to stop it except the Sun.
