The Treaty debate has not united the Conservatives, but it has lead to a broad agreement that in the interest of gaining power they better not talk about Europe for the time being. The only concrete promise David Cameron ever gave on Europe still remains to be honoured - the Conservative MEPs are still part of the European People's Party block in Brussels, even though during his leadership campaign he promised to leave the grouping.

"

Having read the Reform Treaty, what would you say are the key ways that the everyday lives of British citizens will be affected by it if it comes to pass?

The Lisbon Treaty is a document that enables the EU - in the shape of the European Parliament and the Commission - to be part of the domestic decision-making in every aspect of our lives apart from Defence and Foreign Policy and Taxation. Even in those areas it does have powers, but these are subject to a veto.
 
How will it affect our lives? Simply put, we can no longer change governments when we vote at general elections, because our law making is part of a much wider system which is not accountable to the usual principles of democracy.

Do you feel Labour party officials who oppose a referendum are out of touch with the nation?

All major political parties promised a referendum on the document. All three parties reneged on that promise. Labour claimed the Treaty was sufficiently different from the Constitution that it no longer had to keep the promise. The Conservatives still said they would have one, but if one closely analyses their conduct in the Commons they made much noise, but allowed the government to get away with cursory scrutiny. The Lib Dems changed the goalposts by arguing for an in/out referendum.
 
What became clear is that none of the political elites were prepared to ask the people.

Show more »"Dear Gisela, There has been significant controversy over the planning application for the expansion of Edgbaston Cricket Ground. Whilst the local authority has been willing to even stump up £20m to finance this, it has led to significant distress. The fundamental disagreements went beyond local objections to asking serious questions about the governance of the local authority. This application is due to be called in for consideration by DCLG. What is your position regarding the planning application for the redevelopment of Edgbaston? Would you have written to the Secretary of State in support of the proposed development. What is your perspective on the way the application was dealt with, despite the misgivings of nearby residents. With due respect, I would like to know if you felt that the passage of events has been in line with the principles proposed in the White Paper "Communities in Control" Given the nature of its controversy, do you think the findings from the recent DCLG report "Empowering communities to influence local decision making" could be taken into consideration by the local authority?"
