Closed A constitution that forbids our Parliament ceding sovereignty to foreign powers.

Closed on

This would prevent governments gradually ceding sovereignty to foreign powers as they have done for example over the last 44 years to the EU treaty by treaty.

Tony Benn on the Lisbon treaty & the EU > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTjg-vt0Ao4

'If parliament transfers sovereignty away in treaties such as Lisbon then it is stealing rights that don't belong to it because an MP is lent powers of the public for 5 years

But if in those 5 years you give it away to somebody else then you can't repeal those laws. This is a theft of public rights.'
