"Madam President, would Mr Duff accept that the Treaty of Lisbon was objected to by the Conservative Party in opposition? We inherited it in a coalition government with your party, Mr Duff. We do not particularly like a lot of its content and therefore politics is the art of the possible. If we can find ways of obstructing certain dislikeable bits of it, why can we not do that? It is perfectly obvious that there are other parts of the Treaties which other countries do not implement when they feel it is in their national interest. I think of the euro for instance. Sweden is obliged to join the euro; it has never done so. It has always maintained its right to stay out politically even though not juridically. Surely, as a British citizen, you would respect the right of the British Prime Minister to use all legal instruments available within the Council to delay the day for as long as possible, given the fact that the European Court of Human Rights is deeply unpopular now in the United Kingdom?"@en1
