Howard Wheeldon reports: “While promising to stand up for British interests Mr. Cameron has implied that Britain would not stand in the way of changes that would affect the Eurozone area. However, as the days and hours have worn on it is clear that Germany is demanding not only changes that will affect and better discipline the Eurozone partner nations but is also attempting to draw all European Union members to agree another new treaty that will provide the EU additional powers. For Britain after Maastrict and Lisbon changing or increasing inbuilt constitutional powers of the European Union must now be unacceptable unless these may first be sanctioned through a plebiscite of voters here at home. Given the current attitude and current anger of the British people toward the EU we may already know what the result of a future plebiscite would be should it include more sovereign power moving away from Westminster.”

The end game of the EEC/EC/EU is and always was about a new Country or STATE of the European Union. Yet no mention of THE END GAME has been mentioned since this Governments of this Country joined. yet here for you……
Later on that same day, column 1480 at 3.42 pm, the Prime Minister Harold Macmillan: “I beg to move, That this House supports the decision of Her Majesty’s Government to make formal application under Article 237 of the Treaty of Rome in order to initiate negotiations to see if satisfactory arrangements can be made to meet the special interests of the United Kingdom. Etc, etc”
Later on (column1491) he states, “This problem of sovereignty, to which we must, of course, attach the highest importance is, in the end, perhaps a matter of degree. I fully accept that there are some forces in Europe which would like a genuine federalist system. There are many of my colleagues on both sides of the House who have seen this at Strasbourg and other gatherings. They would like Europe to turn itself into a sort of United States, but I believe this to be a completely false-analogy.”
Mr Gaitskell then reminds the Prime Minister (column 1498) what Macmillan said in 1956 when Chancellor of the Exchequer, which was, Finally, we must recognise that the aim of the main proponents of the Community is political integration. We can see that in Article 138 of the Treaty, which looks towards a common assembly, directly elected. The whole idea of the six, the coal and steel community and Euratom is a movement towards political integration. That is a fine assertion, but we must recognise that for us to sign the Treaty of Rome would be to accept as the ultimate goal—to accept as the ultimate goal–political federation in Europe, including ourselves”.
Later on (column1501) Mr Gaitskell says, “There is the question of a common currency, which is mentioned in various quarters as something to which we must look forward. In my opinion, it is idle to speak about a common currency until there is a common government, and the idea of not being in control of our own currency, and having it subject to a supranational or international gathering, would be quite wrong, and I hope that, equally, will be made abundantly plain”.
On 3rd August 1961 (column 1735) Mr Shinwell continues his words after having read out a part of the Treaty of Rome, ending with “reinforcement of the European Parliament through direct elections and widening of its powers and, finally, a European Government. That is the intention. That is their object and that is what they are saying on Hon Members can talk until they are black in the face about the Rome Treaty and there being no provision for federation, but there is no doubt that from the declarations made by some of the most influential people–M.Spaak, Professor Hallstein and others who have indicated that there is a definite intention and that once we accept the economic provisions of the Rome Treaty—and it looks as though this government might—they are on their way towards complete political integration”.
“I wonder what this place will be like during the course of the next ten years? There will not be 630 Hon Members. There will be no need for more than 150 or so. It will be like—”
Mr A. C. Manuel, “A Council”.
Mr Shinwell, “I was about to say a Parish Council, with the authority of some kind delegated to it by the European Parliament and dictated to be a European Government. To that we are being led”.END OF QUOTES
And when the EU’s Localism Bill is completed that is going through Parliament at present-which I have BEGGED the Prime Minister to abandon- there will be no need of anyone in the Houses of Parliament because eventually Brussels will goven its REGIONS through the Committee of the Regions. It really IS THAT TO WHICH YOU ARE BEING LED=By Mr Cameron now.
