What is the intent of the Lisbon Treaty?
A. The European political and business elites are intent on creating a single political, economic and military entity across Europe to rival that of the United States. For such a ‘United States of Europe’ to be built all national governments will first have to surrender sovereignty to the EU, the free market has to be given precedent, military structures have to be built and common foreign and security policy has to be agreed. The adoption of a single European Constitution as proposed under Lisbon would be an important step on the road to this type of Europe.
