From: William Snowden, Butterbowl Gardens, Farnley Ring Road, Leeds.'EDWARD McMillan-Scott's chameleonic conversion from Conservatism to "Liberalism" (Yorkshire Post, May 11) was clearly ideologically driven: he believes in the centralising edicts of the European Project. I do not.Politicians like Mr McMillan-Scott piously profess to be democrats and yet consistently deny people the right to a referendum.The founding fathers of the European Project, recognised that their desire to establish a federal Europe would be thwarted by the people. They thus adopted a gradualist approach in which their ultimate ambition would be achieved by stealth. Each successive treaty, concocted by Europe's political establishment, and without the consent of the people, has represented an incremental step of the path to a United States of Europe. Under such an amorphous system, Britain would be reduced to a jigsaw of vassal regions, each of which would owe ultimate fealty to the Great Power.That is not democracy, Mr McMillan-Scott; it is the antithesis of democracy.'
Accurate in all points!
