Sorry to be repetative but what happened to one parliament cannot bind its successor please?

Reply: That ceased to be true when we joined the EU, unless politicians are prepared to amend our memebrship unilaterally if necessary.

You say that power once granted to Brussels it can never be repatriated.

Equally all (possibly) MPs and the electorate subscribe to the view that one parliament cannot bind its successor.

These two viewpoints are diametrically opposed.

Please will you explain this to me a many other euro realists in this country.

On a somewhat different aspect of the same problem can you also explain why the current government of this country wishes to hand over power to Brussels and render themselves impotent politically?

Finally, sorry to bang on, when will William H and David C give an unequivocal promise to hold a referendum on this treaty/constitution if railroaded through parliament?

Reply: We have said we want a referendum on the Treaty and are vocal in Parliament for it and will vote for it. The challenge is to persuade more Lib Dem and Labour MPs to join us in the lobbies.
Officials like power passing to Brussels, because it means they can influence legislaiton for a large area without having to worry about the reaction of Parliament and people. This group of Ministers seems to go along with it, because they clearly do not believe they can influence it for the better, and never want to have a big row with the EU
