Sneaking the European constitution through on a sly is certainly a farce, as you claim in your main leader (“Give Europe a Say,” October 27, 2007). But many of the treaties of the European Union have been sneaked through on a sly, as well. Which is why the Union lacks legitimacy and accountability, as you also claim. Where we disagree, though, is in what to do about it. So what if the constitutional farce eventually pushes Britain out of the Union? So what if other countries follow its example in their own time? In my view, the sooner the Behemoth collapses, the better. In its wake, we may have a genuine unification of Europe, which must proceed with legitimacy and accountability at every step. As it has come to be, the Union is far from it, anyhow.
