A VON STAUFFENBERG COULD YET BE A WINNER.

For some considerable time, my brother in law, resident in Berlin for almost twenty years, has been informing me of the unrest amongst the German thinkers, particularly their disquiet at the direction the EU is going. In fact, many want to return their currency to the mark. The German Government attempted to vote on the Lisbon Treaty ratification prior to the summer recess. This was halted, as presumably there was grave doubt over such an undemocratic move so close to a General Election. It is difficult to say where this leaves Chancellor Merkel, as she has stumbled along with the problem of having no majority, the main fault with the PR system of voting. If however she wins a second term, it could be that she will be backed by a party that will insist on a re-think.

So where, you might think, does Count Franz Ludwig von Stauffenberg, the third son of Claus von Stauffenberg, enter into this situation? He has secured a ruling from the German constitutional court, which insists that the Berlin Parliament must significantly strengthen it's own powers prior to signing away their nationality. We are indebted to Peter Oborne for this information. With much luck and a fair wind this could take some considerable time. Possibly giving we 'Brits' an opportunity to vote upon the said treaty. Incidently, the writer has not come across any references to these facts on the New Labour propaganda arm, the BBC.





ANY GOVERMENT FAILING IN THIS ACT OF DEMOCRACY, SHOULD BE CONSIGNED TO A WHEELIE BIN OF OUR CHOOSING.
