    The people living in the EU should be called “subjects”

    Now that the Czech Republic has announced it will ratify the Lisbon Treaty, the EU will be even closer yet to becoming a unified monster state, with more than half a billion inhabitants. Inhabitants is the correct term, since “citizens” would indicate a set of political rights. The people living in the EU should rather be called “subjects,” since they have no influence whatsoever on the constitution of the centralized European government, the “European Commission.” The Europeans are allowed to vote for members of the European Parliament, but this body has about as much political power as the ineffectual German parliament meeting at Frankfurt in 1848. Political power in the EU is firmly in the hands of the European Commission, which is set to obtain even more power under the Lisbon Treaty. This infamous treaty does not hold the peoples of Europe in high regard. As a matter of fact, it is only halfway through the treaty (originally presented as a “Constitution”) that one finds the first references to the people.

    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

    Do you know what "Pravda" in Russian stands for and what's the history of this newspaper?

          Well, you've rather spoilt the gag now.

          Yes, Pravda spouts load of bolox, much like yourself, but I thought it was sort of fun to have the former iconic mouthpiece of a totalitarian condemning the treaty as being undemocratic.

            Pravda.ru - the website - has nothing to do with notorious soviet newspaper called Pravda (Truth in Russian) that was known to have published most outrageous lies.
