Hey guys!  Look over here!  That's right, take a look across the pond and see what happened to the United States.  It ain't gonna happen in your lifetime but the foundation for the United States of Europe has been poured and it's only a matter of time before what national sovereignty you had vanishes into some rat-hole in Brussels.

EU SUPERSTATE RULED OUT

The Prime Minister says a "federal superstate" has been explicitly ruled out by the European Convention.

The draft constitutional treaty, backed at the EU summit in Greece, recognised that member states wanted "a Europe of nations, not a federal superstate," Tony Blair told MPs.

Reporting back to the Commons, he said: "Issues to do with taxation, foreign policy, defence policy and our own British borders will remain the prerogative of our national Government and Parliament.

"The Convention sets out clearly what Europe is for, its aims and objectives.

"It recognises expressly that what we want is a Europe of nations - not a federal superstate."

But Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith accused the Prime Minister of "completely understating the all-embracing nature" of the constitution.

He warned it would "fundamentally change the way every country in Europe is governed" and again demanded a British referendum on the proposed changes.
