RicW 67 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 As title really. Assuming we stay in Europe which body or organisation would you get rid of or opt out of? Bit of a no brainer I guess but let's hear it! Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 The EU Convention on Human Rights, although I'm half expecting it to be a trick answer like on QI.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeakOil 352 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I would opt out of the EU but continue co operation (to a certain degree) and trading with the EU. Similar to the Norwegian model, but a more independent and less of a cash cow for the rest of the EU version. The unelected in Brussels and beyond have no rights to meddle in the affairs of sovereign nations and it is time they are reminded of this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RicW 67 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 The European Court of Human Rights was set up in 1948, before the Common Market, let alone the EU, existed, by a guy called Winston Churchill. The European Convention on Human Rights, which was drafted by British lawyers, and signed by the Attlee government in 1950, has no connection with the EU. Just so you know. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
