Quotes from Bernard's speech:
"People are feeling increasingly disconnected from the elites that pretend to speak for them."
"The Conservatives are more and more disillusioned because the EU increasingly inters with the rights of nations to govern themselves."
"Some People say sovereignty becoming irrelevant because of globalisation trade etc."
"The EU Constitution would give itself the authority to be sovereign. (...) If there is no European public in who’s name is this sovereignty going to rest. (...) In a democracy ultimate sovereignty must rest with the nation state."
"If we move to a single sovereign state without a European people we are going against the first article of the UN charter."
"During the British presidency Tony Blair will attempt to pass a treaty of London, a treaty by stealth."
"If the EU Constitution I ratified legally it will be the end of the story. But legal orders can be overturned by the realities of power."
"These upcoming referendums are a fantastic opportunity to change the direction of the European Union."
“All the time Europe’s politicians lie and lie and lie – this is your chance to say no”
