I agree with recent comments, those that haven't read the lisbon treaty are in for a shock if you think we were going retain the status quo, within the lisbon treaty is defined a full takeover of power from member states and a full Euro alliance (noted we are exempt but we will still be impacted), this is why France and Ireland rejected it and were forced to vote again until the EU got the result they wanted..... the just repackaged the whole thing under a different name with minor changes that did not effect the intention of it and spent many millions in trying to convince the public it was a very different deal.... it wasn't and by 2021 there is going to be a shock to the public of many of these nations when they learn the truth.
