Dare to impeach
From Bruce Sharson Sir: It is intolerable that a country so proud of its commitment to open democratic government has had to wait some 30 years after entering the bosom of the EU before a Welsh Nationalist found courage enough, with the support of others, to launch impeachment proceedings against a sitting prime minister. For this Adam Price, MP deserves the deepest gratitude and the wholehearted support of everyone in the country, for he has set the wheels of democratic accountability in motion at long, long last. The truth is that most MPs have failed to represent the people, investigative journalists have missed the boat, and others 'in the know' have been found wanting too.
The first modern prime minister to subvert the democratic process was Edward Heath for misleading the electorate regarding the unacceptable EU terms required of us to join the Common Market. The second was John Major, with similar ambitions, who misled the country with his wildly inaccurate claim of 'Game, Set and Match!' upon returning, in February 1992, from signing the Maastricht Treaty, So Tony Blair is not the only one seen to engage in numerous falsehoods and misrepresentations to both the people and those in the House.
