Conservative skulduggery
BACK in 1972 -Tories desert to EU camp
SHORT-TERM SELF-INTEREST EXPLOITED
The UK Accession Bill passed its Third reading on 13th July 1972 by a majority of 17.
Earlier, the debate on the Second reading had lasted for four days (16-19 February,1972), with the Labour Party then officially committed to opposing the legislation. BUT, as happened with the
Maastricht Bill two decades later, as
Christopher Booker and Richard North observe, 'faced with the possible collapse of their Government, most of the Conservative 'anti-marketeers gritted their teeth'
(treacherously, short-sighted and very foolishly -Ed.-Christopher
Story) 'and walked through the 'aye' lobby. Despite that, 15
Tories voted with the Opposition. TRAITOR Edward Heath got his vote, but only by a water-thin margin:
309 to 301'.
The above result has had such catastrophic consequences 32 years later when Tony Blair signed the
New European Constitution
27 times and this before the referendum had taken place.
All matters concerning the
ENGLISH CONSTITUTION
-should in future need at least
three fourths vote to
became law. But certain elements of our
CONSTITUTION
Should be inviolable and passed on to future generations
FOR EVER!
