The BNP is our only hope of getting out of the EU support it with funds if you want out of the EU otherwise stop moaning

syd, Leeds, UK

Please Mike, die or fight for it. Supposedly the departure of the UK of the EU. I am sick of reading day after day the insulting remarks on the EU and hence on those members who are quite happy with the EU and want it to grow. Why aren't you starting a campaign : Get Britain out of the EU !

Heinz Koenig, Bremen, Germany

Have Governments forgotten that they are accountable to the electorate? IT is clear that nobody wants the treaty, and therefore they are no longer acting in our interests. They should get a vote of NO confidence.

S, London, Uk

An unelected PM voting for an unelected constitution created by an unelected body.

How democratic!!!!!

Teresa, Salerno, Italy

Why would any sane person vote for EU? What has it given us apart from uncontrollable immigration, inflation, uncontrolled borders thus increased crime, and finally a huge bill to pay for failed unelected MP's to sit in Brussels
Europe is a failure.

Matt, Naples, Italy

Here we go again. Another assortment of comments from those who haven't read the Treaty and never will read it because they just wished to vote against the whole EU idea. Let's be thankful there are those with the gumption to want to lead the nation into our interdependent future.

Noel Thompson, Tavistock,

Should I say "welcome to how the other 3/4 of the world is governed!" Its the only way as ours has diminished into one of near anarchy! Look at mob of 30 attacking 2 policemen story! Time has proven that we can't have our cake and eat it too.

Glynn, Kingston,

Anyone in Europe who feels as I do that this is just more authoritarian Euro bullying should disobey all Euro laws and regulations.

We should also make a public statement that this illegal "treaty" does not apply to the UK, Ireland and any other country whose citizens have not held a referendum.

Gary, London,

The secret governing elites referred to in these posts have a name. It is Bilderberg.

The only way to halt this global rush to a single, global police state is to outlaw Bilderberg and imprison its members, including Brown, Blair, Rice, Bush.

It truly has become a matter of us or them.

Gary, London,

All Britons should be ashamed. The EU elite have had this superstate dream since the 1950's - it was never ever about economics.
When Napoleon wanted a European Union it was Britain that stopped him. When Germany tried twice you led the effort to stop them. Stand up before your country vanishes

David, Sydney,

How come this story is buried deep inside the website and NOT a front page story??

Morton, Praha, Czech Rep.

Lets hope the courts believe in democracy more than our and Europes politicians.

Ned Flanders, Aledo, Spain

Which part of the word 'NO' is it that the EU fanatics don't understand.

Keep it simple and concentrate on Free Trade matters.

Chris Hoefkens, Sandon, England

Although Brown's government reneged on it's election manifesto pledge to hold a referendum on the EU Constitution, aka the Lisbon Treaty, this is shocking news. Who does he/they think they are to ignore legitimate judicial procedures. I hope that this action can also be challenged in the courts ...

Tony, LONDON, UK

Are we living in a democracy?

I wasn't aware that our legal and parliamentary processes could be bypassed as and when it suits our 'prime minister'.

Lisa, London,

I'm 100% for the Monarchy. If the Queen gives her consent then that would soon change

Phill, The Wirral, England

is there no end to Gordon Browns contempt for the British people. what do labour think they are doing, we say no but thye dont listen. he is condeming labour to years in the wilderness. I could insult him but i wont!

james, southampton, england

Sounds very much like contempt of court to me.

Stephen, St. Ives, England

I for one, will stop postings against other "less democratic" states given what GB has shown the world. Egg on my face.

Glynn, Kingston,

I would fight and die also to have Britain free from this tyranny

mike, Hull, uk

Is anything new? Brown & Bush are the same when it comes to doing what their NWO Masters tell them to do. Lets hope Ireland doesn't hold another referendum. If so, they'll probably get the same treatment as the USA during the 2000 & 2004 presidential elections. "An Outright Electronic Fix" SAD!

J R, Yalaha,

One of the comments said "and all eurosceptics can move to Africa". I wonder how long it will be before African countries will be asked if the would like to join the E.U?

Pete, Bristol, UK

McBrown tried to avoid being seen signing the wretched thing so no wonder they have ratified it behind closed doors.

roger Kingston, york,

this is blatant abuse of the very foundations of our British society. Is there a protest being organised, because there should be some opposition to this from the people instead of just complaining about it.

Sam, London,

Utterly disgusting. Complete disregard for the British public.

They forget who employs them.

MP's beware of polling day, only a handful of you sorry lot are credible and have the integrity to hold office.

EU constitution, no thanks. Get a car sticker and have your say, EVERY DAY.

PCh, York,

You can't have a sad old man sitting in a castle dictating government policy.
In my opinion, if Mr Wheeler doesn't like how this country is run, he could emigrate or pull up his drawbridge and declare UDI.
Somehow I feel sure Mr Wheeler would be happier in UKIP rather than Dave's New Tory Party !

Peter Hooper, Windsor, UK

Welcome to the USSE, peasants.

David S, Brighton, United Kingdom

Britain is part headquarters of the New World Order, that seeks to enslave people in corporate tyranny. Everything it does proves it.

Bobby, long beach, U.S.A. of the North American Union

This man has committed treason against the British people, why isn't anyone arresting him? He has no mandate from the people and it's against the Magna Carta, who is allowing this treachery to happen? They should all be in jail.

Samantha Jones, Bucks, England

Less than 7 years ago, I loved the EU. I loved everything it stood for. Now, having watched how it behaves in an utterly undemocratic manner, with total contempt for honesty and democracy, I despise the EU. I would fight, and die, to get Britain free of it.

And I used to vote Labour. Never again.

Mike, Brighton, England

It is totalitarian Gov. also comming to Amerika!

Rick Nitwhitten, Shively , US

Lets hope that its academic as the Irish have said No. Where can I send my donation for the No vote campaign if they are asked again.

Keith Sloan, Nr Winchester, UK

Good finnaly they did it.
it was in or out and they are in.
This a good thing for europe and all eurosceptics can move to africa.

Wesley, amsterdam, netherlands

Wow - and here we are bashing Mugabe for being non-democratic. This is a prime example of democracy at work! Need I say more.

Glynn , Kingston,

Both the Labour Party and the Lib Dems will regret thsi decision. They will pay at the next election.

Ian Burgess, Bristol,

Yet another example of Labour keenly listening to its people then prompty and completly ignoring them - replete with a small, condescending sneer.

Counting the days to the general election - that's about as close as we'll get to a referendum...

Simon, Birmingham,

They are like a group of spoiled children. They keep on and on until they get their way. It is disgusting the way the public are ignored.

tiny, Birmingham, England

If Brown had tried this stunt in 1939 his next decision would have been the choice of standing on one leg or two as a manilla choker was placed round his neck.He has however, metaphorically achieved the same result for the whole government as will be made brutally clear come the next election.

Philip, Ipswich,

In the wearly 21st century surely the government must be able to gadge the public's reaction to their decisions. What does the government stand to gain through ratifying the illegal lisbon treaty - am I missing something?

hugo raworth, London,

The sound of jack-boots stamping on democracy and popular opinion (where it's been allowed).

The Euromeisters are making a big mistake.

Their arrogance is having the effect of increasing ill-feeling to the EU.

This used to be about accepting the terms of a treaty - now it's about leaving EU.

Roger Bingham, Lauzun, France

This Government really doesn't retain the faintest notion of what living a democracy implies.

Robert, Hull, UK

What a waste of time, our Irish friends said NO!

The French and the Dutch said NO when they were asked about the EU constitution, the Irish said NO to the Lisbon Treaty, has any country who's been asked to vote actually voted yes?

Hibbo, Dundee,

Who from the Labour ranks will benefit from this undemocratic decision? What is the point the of having a democracy, if you only involvement is an election every 5 years.

steve tea, manchester, cheshire

Disgraceful. An affront to democracy. They govern to spite and in spite of the people. What sad, bad people govern us. I am so ashamed of Britain today.

phil, Swindon, England

An as yet unnamed elite, lawless organisation is actually running the country by stealth, in effect a silent insurrection from within. The control must be total, absolute, and lead top-down from the centre. What and who cannot be controlled must be destroyed by nulabor. An unelected cadre already runs the country, bypassing Parliament, the Judiciary, and all the institutional safeguards that were designed to ensure our freedoms.

martin brighton, sheffield, UK

The ' Elites ' that have the EU ' vision ' have never believed that ordinary people have the right, or the brains to think for themselves. After all, they are ' Olympians ', not bound by the rules that constrain lessor breeds. Does this all sound like ALL Politicians. Fight on, and win.

Desmond Taylor, Houston, USA TX

A perfect example of Gordon Brown 'listening' to people in the country.....

Rcik, London, England

The prime minsiter is fundamentally dishonest, and wholly unfit for public office of any kind whatsoever.

James E. Petts, Burnham, England

Well this really just epitamises how far we have come, how is this even remotely democratic?

Stevie, London, UK

Doesn't really matter though, does it. If the government has acted illegally the signing of the treaty carries no weight.

Jamie, Bolton, UK

Sarkozy is yet another who fails to understand the meaning of the word 'NO' or in his case 'NON'.

Keith, Grantham,

It's what we have come to expect from this disreputable government, governing by dictat rather than consent. Everything about the EU seems to require being hidden from the population, not just in Britain but throughout the whole of the EU. If there is nothing to hide, why all the secrecy and deceit?

john, romsey, england
