lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, since the 1970s, British politicians have sworn the EU is not about political domination or loss of sovereignty, yet EU presidents state that we pooled our sovereignty and have a European empire, which makes 75% of our law. This Treaty signs away our ability to rule ourselves, yet a BBC poll says that 84% of the British people want no more power surrendered. Like mushrooms, the British people are left in the dark and fed manure. The Conservatives, through the EPP Group, gave their allowances to the ‘yes’ campaign in Ireland, then deviously promised to allow a referendum – but only if Ireland votes ‘no’ again. Behind the backs of the British people and with no mandate, the Westminster parties have sold their country away, while the polls show 55% want to leave the EU. Never before in the field of human politics have so many been conned by so few."@en1
