If You Voted Remain

If you voted Remain in the recent referendum, here is the bit you missed.

In 1973 the Conservative Prime Minister deliberately lied to the public, in order to join the Common Market. He said it was just a trading bloc, when he knew it was actually only a political structure, everything around it was frippery. He knew it would lead to a superstate.

Being in dire straits at the time, it meant that the British people could be easily convinced that it would help economic recovery. So he drew up an Act that ceded sovereignty to a foreign power. This was unlawful, as it is not within the power of a UK government to do so.

Scroll forward to today and the much more openly stated objective of 'ever closer union' which I think most people hear as 'becoming nicer to each other', 'popping round for tea more often'.

But it means finally achieving the initial goal of the French and German participants, a single, Europe wide empire.

So, how would this empire operate? I think most British people would think, just like our government, but in Brussels, where we would have a big voice. In fact Britain will cease to exist and just become a region. A bit like East Anglia is a region of Britain. So Gibraltar will join with Spain and Portugal to become the Iberian region (well done for voting for that Gib).

If she is lucky, the power mad Sturgeon might be running the local authority possibly known as the Scottish region.

The 'government' will be like this;

Laws will not be submitted by elected politicians who are responding to the needs of constituents, they will be dreamed up by unelected bureaucrats. If the comedy 'parliament' tries to vote it down, they will be voting until they get it right.

The MEP's will operate along group, party lines. The police will be above the law (EU police already are), bureaucrats will be unimpeachable (which to all real intents and purposes they are now).

A thousand years of perfecting a system in the UK where everything is legal unless the elected representatives of the people make it illegal, with the agreement of the people (or they are kicked out with the new lot knowing what they must do), will be replaced. Instead, everything will be illegal unless the state, in the form of unelected bureaucrats allow it.

If you voted Remain you will probably deny this, even though it is easily discoverable. If you voted Remain and didn't know this, well now you do and shame on you.

If this form of government is OK with you, then I guess you live in Islington. And pine for the Soviet Union.
