Alone among EU leaders, Chancellor Angela Merkel goes to tonight’s summit in Brussels with an iron-clad mandate. It is a remarkable moment. Never before – to my knowledge – has a national parliament demanded and held a prior vote on an EU summit accord.
Had this principle been established a long time ago, we might have avoided much of the relentless Treaty creep and EU aggrandizement advanced by secret deals at the Bâtiment Justus Lipsius. Thank you Germany.
Thank you too, judges of the Verfassungsgericht, for giving the Bundestag a veto on EU encroachments on fiscal sovereignty. The court is seemingly the only tribunal willing and able to defend the liberties of European citizens against EU over-reach, and is therefore my supreme court too even as a British citizen.

Merkel on the threat to peace and a permanent supervision for Greece
Speaking in the German parliament before a vote on the Eurozone bail-out package, which the government won comfortably, the Chancellor Angela Merkel said that “Nobody should take for granted another 50 years of peace and prosperity in Europe. They are not for granted. That’s why I say: If the euro fails, Europe fails.”
The vote supports German proposals for a leverage of the €440 billion Eurozone bail-out fund to just about any level required.
And according to EUobserver Merkel also said that “We have a historical obligation: To protect by all means Europe’s unification process begun by our forefathers after centuries of hatred and blood spill. None of us can foresee what the consequences would be if we were to fail.”
“It cannot be that sometime in the future they say the political generation responsible for Europe in the second decade of the 21 century has failed in the face of history.”
So there you have it, the political goal is a unified Europe, which politicians have been working towards. And those politicians are also ‘responsible for Europe’, not it seems for the nation states they represent. But we knew that, didn’t we?
And the threat if we don’t get it together is an end she says to ‘peace’ and prosperity insinuating that the EU had brought it about.
I would put it another way. What really kept the peace was NATO and the only thing that would destroy it is politicians trying to foist an unwanted project on the people they purport to represent. The people thought they were getting trade and a single currency. Now they see the stark reality of the grand plan of a unified Europe unfolding before them. And the say they once had in their own affairs, their own democracy, has already been systematically dismantled.
