Contemporary Review, Jan, 2002 by Peter Hylarides
The ever closer union, however, seems to be the privilege of unelected executives kept in check by a European Parliament elected by 49 per cent of the voters. Margaret Thatcher was far-sighted when she said in her famous Bruges speech in 1988: 'I want to see us work more closely on the things we can do better together than alone ...
But working more closely together does not require power to be centralised in Brussels or decisions to be taken by an appointed bureaucracy... We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them reimposed at a European level, with a European superstate exercising a new dominance from Brussels'.
