The Lisbon Treaty: the European Foundation Analysis, Part III

Against the intolerable backdrop of a pro-European bias in the BBC, the European Foundation continues the third part of its analysis to reveal what this Treaty really means. On the third day of opposition to the Treaty of Lisbon through Commons debate in the UK Parliament, the European Foundation provides a through Article-by-Article analysis of the key issues underlying today’s battle over human rights, which must be put forward by the Opposition in order to oppose the provisions of this Treaty. The major powers that will be surrendered have been listed below – click on an Article to read the analysis.

It is Britain and not the European Union that must retain the right to legislate for and govern the British people through the authority of a Westminster Parliament. The provisions within the Lisbon Treaty must be opposed to prevent its massively detrimental impact on the people of this country. The European project is not working – its new power-grab achieved through the Treaty of Lisbon must be stopped.
