British Doubts About EU Constitution (eheh)
"The British government on Monday stepped up the rhetoric over its concerns about a European constitution, saying the UK does not regard it as essential for a new treaty to be agreed," the Financial Times reports.
In "US-EU: The Constitutional Divide," Marian Tupy, assistant director of Cato's Project on Global Economic Liberty, and Senior Fellow Patrick Basham write:
"The recently drafted EU constitution is a product of 20th century welfare-state socialism. The official goal was to design a simpler, more efficient, more democratic Europe that is 'closer to its citizens.' However, the goal was never seriously pursued and, consequently, never achieved. As a result, the new constitution will have serious negative implications for liberal parliamentary democracy and the principles of self-government."
