#1 "I pledge allegiance to the EU, and its mighty state of hysteria. And to the republic of mass confusion, one bureaucracy, under Brussels, with high taxes and social welfare checks for all."

#3 I swore an oath of allegiance to the Queen. I am not going to take kindly to an Italian gentleman telling me to swear allegiance to unelected people.

LOL! He actually said those two sentences, the one after the other? And he probably didn't even mean them ironically at that.

As for the rest, if the Charter of Fundamental Rights alone (without the rest of the Constitution attached) was put to the vote, it would pass overwhelmingly, even in Britain. But ofcourse the elites (the British ones mainly) are never gonna let such a thing take place -- you saw how quick Blair was to cancel the referendum even for the (under the given circumstances) doomed-to-failure EU Constitution. After all he couldn't have the people of Britain becoming too attached to the idea of referendums deciding their relationship with Europe.

(And all the anti-EU people that used to complain about EU supposedly being a project of the political elites were actually *happy* about Blair just deciding to cancel the referendum and thus making sure it would remain such -- there's a second round of hypocrisy for you)

#6 The referendum had already failed, Aris. There was no point in continuation. The EU is increasingly looking like some sort of Monty Python skit.
