The French and the Dutch thought they had killed
it, the British were told it was dead and buried, but
the German President, Angela Merkel, in true EU
leadership fashion, has ignored the will of the people
and is trying to raise it from the dead.
The EU constitution under the German EU presidency is
back on the agenda. Declaring ‘the period of reflection
is over’, she announced that she wanted the
EU constitution in place before the elections to the
European Parliament in 2009.
Her intention is to save as much of the draft text as possible, she also
intends to consult every member state regarding
any reservations they may have regarding the constitution.
Geoff Hoon, the British Euro Minister,( known when he ran Britain’s defences as “Buff” Hoon, as he was so inept) has taken up the pro-EU cudgels with great enthusiasm and stated that Gordon Brown (presuming he
will be the next Prime Minister) may be able to
avoid the risk of losing a referendum and said there
was no constitutional requirement for Britain to
hold a referendum on “detailed processes” of the
EU.
“Buff” Hoon, who obviously gives little consideration
to the opinions of the people he was elected
to represent, was forced to admit that the Government
has signed up to new EU laws, even though
they may be illegal under European treaties.
Angela Merkel has vowed “I am going
to do everything I can as presidency holder to set
the constitutional process in motion again.” She
intends to put forward a plan at the World Economic
Forum in Davos next June. Tony Blair, who
will still be the Prime Minister, will be faced with
approving this plan which will be handed to his
successor as a poisoned chalice.
It has been reported that Gordon
Brown’s allies are not happy that Tony Blair could
tie the Chancellor’s hands on the prospect of the EU
constitution.
Downing Street has refused to promise
a referendum on the constitution; it could be left
to Parliament to decide. Like the return of the zombie,
the EU constitution has risen from the dead.

'Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?' This is a clear warning to Christians not to marry a non-believer.
2 Corinthians 7:14
