Read the one page summary at http://eutruth.org.uk/euconst.pdf.

My view [that Parliament can over rule the EU at any time] was based on an item in the C Booker column a few years back. This is an extract.

'EU law can only override the will of Parliament because Parliament agrees to allow it do so through the European Communities Act. But there is nothing in this Act, the judge explained, which allows the EU or any of its institutions, including the European Court of Justice, to "qualify the conditions of Parliament's legislative supremacy in the United Kingdom.
Not because the legislature chose not to allow it; because by our law it could not allow it." The EU cannot overrule Parliament: "Being sovereign, it cannot abandon its sovereignty."
If Parliament wishes to withdraw from the EU by repealing the European Communities Act, the judge confirmed, it is entirely free to do so. It is equally free to enact laws which contradict EU law, although these must state explicitly that this is the intention.'

However in an article in the Mail recently he writes:

'What is at stake with this new treaty is nothing less than the putting of the all-but final touches to the setting up of a new form of government to rule over us, with the power to decide almost all the laws we have to obey.'

It does seem important that this issue is resolved, for if we are from 2010[?] then solely subject to EU Law - the game is up in December 2007 when the signing takes place.
