Probably the best parliamentary question ever!

Chris Heaton-Harris MEP - soon, we hope, to be MP for Daventry - has put down this question to the European Commission:

"Would the Commission agree with noted British philosophers, Messrs Palin and Cleese, that [the treaty] has passed on! This treaty is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet its maker! It’s a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! The Irish have said no, it should be pushing up the daisies! Its metabolic processes are now history! It’s off the twig! It’s kicked the bucket, It’s shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible! THIS IS AN EX-TREATY!!

Does the Commission accept that there is no public support for further centralisation and will now abandon all attempts of implementing aspects of the Lisbon Treaty?"
