"...hang on a minute, this text has actually now been ratified by a majority of Member States. The 25 national governments themselves did not declare it dead. Instead, they extended the period of ratification and opened a 'period of reflection'. In that period of reflection we must listen carefully to those who said ‘no’, but we must also listen to the majority who have said ‘yes’ and find a way forward that can ultimately bring the two together."
Now concentrate, Corbett: The deal was that if any one member state rejected the Constitution, then it was finished. Two states rejected it, overwhelmingly. Corbett knows well that if the German people had been given a chance to vote, then they would have rejected it also. The British won't be given a vote, because we will reject it.
By denying reality, and by ignoring the democratic will of the people, Corbett is treading on dangerous ground. There is an old saying: "If you make peaceful protest impossible, then you make violent protest inevitable."
Of course, Corbett is no democrat, and could not give a damn about the will of people who disagree with him and his federalist chums.
Take note: The fate of undemocratic politicians is seldom pretty to behold, although usually well deserved!
Now I am not advocating the lynching of traitors for one very good reason: It is illegal. I'm not saying that is a good law, but it is the law nonetheless.
