Why Cameron insults our intelligence

The Conservative party have vowed to repatriate powers from Brussels after a humiliating climbdown over the Lisbon Treaty.
Remember their promise that there would be a referendum on the treaty?
David Cameron vowed to Sun readers there would be a referendum.
Today he explains why he will break that promise and makes three other promises that he will break.
He says: 'First, bringing back powers over social and employment laws. While businesses struggle through this recession, it is outrageous that rules from Brussels add to their burden. And we can't afford the NHS to be mucked about by EU working time rules either.
'Second, we want a guarantee that the Charter of Fundamental Rights will not be used by EU judges to add to EU law affecting the UK. Third, we want to pull back powers so that EU judges can't gain creeping control over the British criminal justice system.
'And finally, we will enshrine Britain's independence in law by taking a Sovereignty Bill through Parliament. This would guarantee that the final word on our laws is here in the UK.'
Cameron knows none of these things are possible - EU law is tightly framed and any changes of this nature would take years to implement.
Even members of his own party don't believe him. It is merely tub-thumping to hold on to his share of the vote - shameless electioneering.
As Elmar Brook points out in The Independent: 'The biggest transfers of British sovereignty to the EU were made with the Single European Act and the Maastricht treaty – under the Conservative leaders John Major, and Margaret Thatcher.'
Don't insult our intelligence Dave.
