Do we want a militarised EU?

Quotes from Roger's speech:

“The EU Constitution would take power away from the people”

“The EU Constitution will lead to a common foreign and defence policy. Troops from the embryonic EU army are already in the Congo and the former Yugoslavia.”

“This development will create serious tensions within Europe as 25 politically diverse countries with very different traditions, such as neutrality in some cases, as well as ambivalent attitudes to America, could not possibly be tied into common positions without great tensions emerging.”

"What is being created is a state with an army that can go anywhere in the world without a UN mandate.”

"The EU will effectively have an imperial army of 480,000 troops."
