This is utter b******s. *This government has made around one new law every

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you not withdrawn Britain from the EU long ago?????????
