The emerging crisis of confidence in Europe


Money down the drain?

The Systems Engineering Economics Lab (SEEL) held a Consitutional Economics briefing on 1st August 2007 to announce some preliminary findings of their recent research. 10 European Member States were former totalitarian regimes and joined the European Union during the last two enlargements. In these countries, the combination of contraventions of European Law by political parties with inaction on the part of the European Commission as Guardian of the Treaties and the failure to provide impartial legal decisions in favour of citizens by European Courts is resulting in an annual loss to these economies of a staggering Euro 50 billion. This is the equivalent of 40% of the EU Budget. The amount of the EU Budget going into compensatory schemes of "catch up" are roughly equivalent to the amount lost through inappropriate national decision-making and EU administrative and European court failures. These findings will feature in the first edition of the British Strategic Review which will come out in mid-August 2007.

A long hot summer?

Gordon Brown has seriously under-estimated the strength of feeling in Britain over his attempt to avoid a referendum on the re-concocted European Constitution, now presented as an "amending treaty" as a tactic to avoid a promised referendum.

In Britain, the European concept is now in crisis. There are two issues:

1. One is that people have come to the end of their patience concerning the degree to which both main political parties have proactively made false promises and marginalised them from involvement in most decisions involving Europe. The British political parties have cultivated, over the last 30 years, a convention of dishononourable politics marked by a contempt for the electorate. This characteristic has intensified following the accession of Central European countries run by politicians with totalitarian mindsets. Angela Merkel, the softly spoken smiling German Chancellor is one of the most effective practitioners at this form of democratic corruption.

2. The last two poorly managed European Union enlargement processes have, in the space of 7 years, undermined the already shakey impartiality of the European Courts. We are all, including the Government, increasingly at risk of arbitrary supreme judicial decisions without appeal. This crisis is summaried in the article:"Why we need to substitute political parties by faithful representatives".

As in all things European, the British political parties have been surprisingly weak in confronting the British Government on this issue. There is, however, an emerging crisis upon which the British Parliament, British and European politicians do not comment.

According to Real News the basic institutional structure of the European Union has become seriously flawed with or without any constitutional treaty and the European Treaty as such cannot resolve the issue.

This is because the European Union faces a serious crisis arising from the lack of impartiality of European judges. This situation has become a serious and well-hidden crisis following the accession of ten recent Member States formerly under totalitarian one party rule.

Their becoming members of the European Union has had no effect in altering some very bad habits.

Bulgaria and Romania have not been as proficient as the other countries in hiding this serious threat to the individual freedom of the people of Europe.

According to the article, "Why there can be no European Constitution" the corruption of the judiciary affects all European Union high courts and is worst in the European Court of Human Rights and as a result the European Union is not able to provide any protection of individuals against arbitrary decisions from any European Court. This emerging situation proactively erodes social values which the British population have always considered to be important. This issue is so fundamental that it has created a groundswell which is gathering momentum in the form of private initiatives which will culminate in a demand for a review of not just the contents of this latest treaty draft but also of all British undertakings with respect to Europe.

The European Court of Human Rights was also criticised in the article, "The Human Rights Court - not fit for purpose" in the same online medium.


The latest article on this issue published in response to the vacillation of the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, David Miliband, over the refusal to provide a referendum on the new "amending treaty" can be accessed here, "Dishonourable leadership & dishonest foreign policy".

ADVERTISEMENTClick for more info "The Briton's Quest for Freedom - Our unfinished journey..." is a timely work concerning the British constitution and very relevant in the context of the current discussions on constitution in the United Kingdom. The book analyses the constraints on individual freedom of the British system of democracy and introduces an original constitutional principle, the Minority Principle, as the foundation of an improved constitutional settlement achieving a more responsive governance with better protection for individual freedom. This is perhaps the most unusual and inspirational book on constitution to have appeared for a long time. This book can be purchased online at Hambrooks or through any bookstore.

E-mancipation to organize an independent British referendum on European "amending treaty"

Just before France and the Netherlands voted down the last European Constitution, CybaCity.Com was about to organize a UK referendum on the European Constitution. This plan was shelved following the French & Netherland votes.

Representatives from CybaCity.Com and E-mancipation met recently and agreed to organize an online vote or British referendum on the European "amending treaty" if the British government does not take this issue seriously. We understand that E-mancipation will announce this decision with more details during the first weel in August.
