Terminating the contract.
Mar 6, 2008 EU
Richard North of EU Referendum fame may know as much about the EU as anyone alive, so his thoughts on Parliament's refusal to ask the people about the Lisbon treaty are worth noting. He also has something to say about where we go from here.
[T]he effect of what they have done is to destroy the contract between us, the people and our representatives. By this contract they rule us, with our consent.
That consent has now been withdrawn. This is no longer our parliament. In any meaningful sense, it is no longer a parliament. Be done with it.
