European Parliament is anti-democratic
Thursday, 29th October 2008 Dear Editor, The European Constitution adopted at Lisbon allowed, for the first time, for the official use of symbols of the EU such as a flag and an anthem. So when the Irish rejected the Treaty, you would have thought that would put a stop to the idea. Not a bit of it. The European Parliament has now voted to increase the usage of all the symbols of the state, regardless of the Irish vote. It is not only anti-democratic but offensive to the peoples of Europe that proponents of a federal state should try to force us against our sill to honour a flag and Anthem to which we owe no allegiance. Yours sincerely, Syed Kamall MEP LONDON |
