2. Letter from the President of the European Parliament to the Chairman of the Constitutional Affairs Committee asking for more discretionary powers in the House (dated 17.01.2008).
3. Interventions by the following MEPs:
- Nigel Farage (UK), Co-chair, IND/DEM (30.01.2008) - Speaks about the President's disciplinary action on 13 of the 80 protesting MEPs: "I am Spartacus!"
- Jens-Peter Bonde (Denmark), Co-chair, IND/DEM (12.12.2007) - Earlier in the day on 12.12.2007, before the manifestations; speaks about the signing of the Treaty in Lisbon on 13.12.2007.
Afternoon, after the protest:
- Martin Schulz (Germany), Chair, PES (12.12.2007) - Questions Mr Bonde's integrity and compares the protest to Adolf Hitler's shouting strategy in the Weimar Republic.
- Graham Watson (UK), Chair, ALDE (12.12.2007) - Compares protesting MEPs to football hooligans, Soviet communists and Nazis, and calls for their eviction next time.
- Daniel Cohn-Bendit (Germany), Co-Chair, Greens/EFA (12.12.2207) - Calls protesting MEPs idiots, mentally weak and mad.
- Jens-Peter Bonde (Denmark), Co-chair, IND/DEM (12.12.2007) - Responds to criticism and calls for referendum.
- Daniel Hannan (UK), EPP-ED (30.01.2008 & 31.01.2008) - Challenges the leaders to put the treaty to a referendum and half-compares the presidential power grab to the Enabling Act of 1933
- Joseph Daul (France) Chairman, EPP-ED, says he will ask for Mr Hannan's expulsion from the group for his remarks
- Nigel Farage (UK), Co-chair, IND/DEM (07.06.2007 - not 07.07.2007 as depicted on the video) - a few weeks before the conclusion of the Lisbon treaty: no debate, twisting of language - "If you're true democrats then you'd join me in the call to let the people decide their own future; don't foist it upon them!"

Note on EU Constitution and Lisbon Treaty:
The people of France and the Netherlands rejected the proposed EU constitution in the 2005 referendums. After this, 5 countries that had promised a referendum cancelled it and the EU Constitution was re-written as an "amending treaty" or a "reform treaty" and named "Treaty of Lisbon". On the basis of this deceit, they now maintain that no more referendums are necessary. Only Ireland is holding a referendum. All other countries are ratifying the disguised EU Constitution without asking the people.
The EU Constitution establishes a new "European Union" with joint citizenship - an EU "federal" State that is technically and politically empowered to further centralize power in Brussels; a European State comprising of 27 nation-states ruled by a triumvirate of European institutions led by the unelected EU Commission, which serves as the governing body of the Union. With co-decision powers to block legislation, but never to initiate it, the European Council comprises of representatives of the governments of member states. This ineffectual co-decision process is shared with the European Parliament, which is the only directly elected institution and the only channel for European citizens to possibly reverse the totalitarian trend and preserve freedom and democracy.

Und eine Form des Einparteiensstaat wäre entweder STALINISMUS, oder NAZISMUS. Und ich will beides nicht haben.
Vielleicht hören Sie mal einfach mal ein bischen zu, was der Britische Abgeordnete sagt? Das kam bei Ihnen ja anscheinend noch nicht so ganz an. Manche brauchen halt bischen länger :-)
beste Grüße
Einfach auf meinen Namen klicken!
Autunno2008 it is clear to me that Elberiver is a complete nutter. Unfortunately there are quite a lot of political nutters using utube as their play ground.
The Irish should be grateful. Joining the EU in 1972 was one of the better decisions the Irish made!
Stupid is true! But this "lad" is 47 years old!
Halt doch dein Maul, du Nazi Schwein!
before reading any post by ElbeRiver, read what he had written on my channel.
Just click on my name at the top, left, and scroll to the comments.
I forgot to say: I have lost my father when I was 11 years old, for Hitler's fault.
ElbeRIVER you are a real lunetic lol!
Do you have mental problems?
Abbauen die EU.
Wo bleibt denn die Logik?
Wenn doch 2oo8Autunno seinen Vater durch den Nazismus verloren hat, wieso soll er dann Mitglied der Nazipartei sein? Am Ende des Nazismus war er 13 Jahre alt!
The government has already agreed to reverse its long-standing opposition to joining the EU and adopting the euro.
These politicians try to sell a "democratic" image, but hbhind their fake fassade they are marionettes of the Banking Mafia and criminal Multinational Corporations. Their aim is to create a global industrial area that serves the Banking Mafia and the ruthless Multinationals only, and which damages Europe already now.
