Question.
Aren't there nine other European Parliaments out there, who have still to vote on and ratify this treaty?
Would Britain be subject to as much "isolation" if, say, one of the Scandic governments was defeated in a vote or referendum.
Apart from forever topping themselves due to the biting wind and total lack of statuesque, blonde Manto knocking about (arses), the Swedes, Norwegians and Danes are largely defined as thoroughgoing, top-notch proto-Euros, with an impeccable track-record in turning-out slamming hotties on a reguilar basis.
Where their track record is a little less straightforward, is in their subservience to a greater Europe.
All of these countries have consistently refused to join the Euro, and over time have flexed their muscles over treaties such as Maastricht. I don't think the votes in these Parliaments are by any means a foregone conclusion, and it is not beyond the realms that one or more may choose to reject the proposals.
What then?
Grey, would you reserve the same (mild) vitriol for a Scandic country which chose not to participate?
Genuine question.
