Stripped of seat on UN security council

Gordon Brown's foreign office minister Lord Malloch-Brown has said, that BRITAIN should be stripped of its seat on the United Nations Security Council. Sun & Times

He predicted Britain and France would lose their seats once the EU has a comprehensive foreign policy which forms part of the European Union Reform Treaty (i.e. EU constitution)

According to a report by the EU Observer, he told Brussels diplomats that the EU was heading toward one single seat within the UN institutions. He said: “I think it will go in stages. We are going to see a growing spread of it institution by institution. It is not going to happen with a flash and a bang.” He added that he hoped that it would happen “as quickly as possible. I’m a huge fan of it.”

Can Britain remain within the Commonwealth?

1. The Commonwealth of Nations is a voluntary association of independent sovereign states, each responsible for its own policies, consulting and co-operating in the common interests of their peoples and in the promotion of international understanding and world peace.

IT IS DOUBTFUL THAT BRITAIN EVEN TODAY MEETS THAT REQUIREMENT....AFTER THE EU REFORM TREATY IT MOST CERTAINLY WILL NOT.
