AFTER Parliament made its views crystal clear on the EU budget, one journalist wrote that for the European Union “confessing that you are being driven by your party and your voters is seen not as a strength but an admission of failure”. Precisely.
It was of course the French Minister Claude Cheysson who said “the great steps in the construction of Europe would not have been taken had we first had to hold a referendum” and it was that great Europhile Jacques Delors who said: “Those who take a position against Maastricht will no longer have the right to engage in politics”.
There is no doubt what kind of organisation the British people were fooled into joining and no doubt about the urgency of leaving.
