Well here it is;

"Should the United Kingdom approve the treaty establishing a constitution for the European Union?"

Let's open it up to the floor. Let the debate begin.

I think in fairness the question is a lot more straightforward than most of us expected it to be.

I'm a NO.

Definately yes. I think it would only be good for Britain economically (in the long run) and definately culturally to be more European.

No constitution or laws will (should ?) have any impact on how people "culturally" are.

I would vote NO.

Yes.
The problem with the Veto is that it allows countries like, say, Greece to thoroughly abuse the EU, take the handouts and ignore the rules.
The current set of rules was designed for a small club but don't work now the EU has expanded so much. Hence the constitution bring a new set of rules that will work. Also they are less "socialist" than the old rules which has to be a good thing.

The constitution would allow;

* The EU control of our criminal justice system.

* The EU to decide on sentences for convicted criminals.

* The EU to determine what methods the Police could use to investigate crimes in the UK.

* The EU to increase even more the complex regulations that they already impose on UK businesses.

* The EU control over our Social Security system.

* The EU control over British foreign policy

* The EU to usurp Britains position on the UN security council.

* The government to pass more control to the EU without first having to seek parliamentary approval.


This is just the tip of a massive iceberg.



NO!
