"Common Sense" by Tony Benn

A good approach to Europe and to the problems of the English "constitution"
is to be found in Tony Benn's book "Common Sense".

"Ask the powerful five questions
1. What power have you got?
2. Where did you get it from?
3. In whose interest do you exercise it?
4. To whom are you accountable?
5. How can we get rid of you?

Only democracy gives us that right. That is why no-one in power likes democracy - and that is why every generation must struggle to win it and keep it. Including you and me - here and now."

Tony Benn.
