...United Kingdom is effectively governed by the European Union in that about 70% of the laws now enacted by our Parliament are required to comply with the European Union's directives; and, secondly, that our subordination to the European Union will be complete when the provisions of the Lisbon treaty are brought progressively into effect in the next few years. The Conservatives have consistently furthered the interests of the European Union in complete disregard of the interests of our own country. Mr. Cameron conforms to that Conservative policy.

Does this reconciliation necessarily imply France's full return to NATO and the reinforcement of France's military presence in Afghanistan? The answer is yes, but with conditions.

...dangerous, or it's depicted as being busy with the size of strawberries, so it's ridiculed." Many in Brussels admit the pro-treaty campaign in Ireland had been complacent, assuming that Ireland's economic miracle after it joined the E.U. would be enough to convince its people that Lisbon was a good thing. "We have not been professional in the way we communicate," admits Wallstrom...
