A glimmer of hope still on the horizon

The fate of Europe still hangs in the balance, with just one man, Vaclav Klaus, the Czech President, holding out for the people of Europe. The Times today has reported that his application for an amendment to the Lisbon Treaty is now being supported by his own Government, which looks like a major U-turn from them, having previously been encouraged to consider impeaching the President:

After an emergency Cabinet meting this morning, Jan Fischer, the Czech Prime Minister, said that he would put President Klaus's call for a human rights opt-out to the next European summit on October 29

Many, of course, believe that this is very much a delaying tactic, in the hope that the Tories win the next General Election in the UK and hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty immediately, as David Cameron has promised.

It is a sad day when the people of Europe are denied a say on their own future by an anti-democratic conspiracy of European leaders seeking to create a new European superstate. Thank goodness we have Vaclav Klaus, who is willing to risk his political career both at home and internationally to stand up for the right of the public to decide our own future.
