It may have taken a long time, but this article might be of interest.
Ignore the bloggers, they are almost as whacko (and unrepresentative) as the bloggers here.

There is much debate about that.*Totally agree mate. But, I think we need to look at the issue of extradition as its a wee bit odd US citizens can't be extradited but "our" British citizens can indeed go the other way. On a different topic I'm totally against the death penalty 90% of the time. I'd think it far worse to send the whole lot of em to an island penitentiary and have them bugger each other to death;-)
First, we don;t have a written constitution.
Second, we don;t have a human rights act, and if we didn't use the European human rights act, our own version might not be very different.
But the real debate is whether the european economic union is an economic union or a political union.
Many say it is primarily a political union, as a means of avoiding ever after a war in europe as it experienced twice in the last century.
A bit of occasional nonsense is worth it to avoid those terrible events.
Very few in Britain want a United States of Europe. In fact, I don;t think any serious politician wants that, they certainly would never say they want it, it is electoral suicide.
ps you could equally ask why Britain usurps its sovereingty to US courts, when there is no reciprocal arrangement. Originally Posted by essence
