    Yes thats right. From midnight last night the United Kingdom is no longer a soveriegn nation, we are now subordinate to the European State.

    Article One of the 1933 Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States says that:
    "The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory; (c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states."

    Previously the EU met (a), (b) and (c).

    From last night it meets d) Thanks to the Lisbon Treaty, now fully in force, it has "legal personality", with the right to sign treaties. The EU now has a foreign minister, a diplomatic service and 16o overseas embassies.

    The EU is also self-amending. The UK Parliament no longer has the final say on extensions of EU responsibilities.

    Previously we could just walk out of the EU by repealing the 1972 European Communities Act. But now it will have to go through the procedure laid down in the Lisbon Treaty. Basically the EU gets to settle the terms on which its members are allowed to leave.

    This is all done without the approval of the British people via the referendum Labour promised in the election.

    Well, to hell with the EU. We will just have to get out and on our terms even if that means ignoring EU laws and sticking two fingers up at the EU Fascists. It will happen.
