"Mr President, of all the claims made by supporters of the European Constitution, perhaps the silliest is that EU citizenship does not prejudice national citizenship. One by one, the entitlements once bestowed by nationality have been eroded: the right of residence; the right to elect your own representatives; increasingly, too, the right to claim welfare. Any neutral observer would conclude that EU citizenship is becoming the primary legal status of our constituents, with their national citizenships a secondary, almost folkloric category. I accept that this is where the majority in this House wants to go but, for heaven’s sake, be honest about it! Let us hear no more nonsense about the status of my constituents as British subjects being unaffected."@en1
