Governments interpretation of Statute Law is often challenged in Court; it's called a Judicial Review. Basicly you argue that a Minister has misapplied the Law (like the West Coast line franchise). How on earth you can argue that it is right for a Government to ignore the wishes of 84% of the population is beyond me; you appear to be apologising for dictatorship.

It is not necessary to read all the various European Treaties and 'Directives'. Most of the Treaties have in any case been broken by the EU itself. At the very beginning of the euro they said there would NO bailouts... They make up the 'rules' as they go along which amounts to saying that there are no rules. They claim that you have to be democratic to join the EU yet the very people who propose all eu 'rules' are NOT elected. All this is done on the unspoken threat that to do anything different will bring about another war in Europe... So if Greece leaves the euro Germany is obliged to invade Poland? Far from preventing another war in Europe by flying in the face of the democratric will of the majority of European peoples they laying the grounds for a future conflict.

You can ignore the people only so long. The danger is clear and the clock is ticking.
