It would be the EU judges who decided the "context", guess who they'd side with? Those agreeing to the deal don't seem to know anyhow. From today's FT:


FT - EU Treaty hopes come under strain

Officials in several of those countries said their most pressing concern was whether the new rules giving Brussels powers to police national budgets would be binding only to eurozone governments or to all signatories.

Now that is seriously frightening :eek: I am pretty sure that Cameron thinks it relates to Euro countries only or he would have used it in the defence of his actions, I doubt he would have had any dissenters back home if he had stated that more UK powers would have gone to Brussels.

The plan is for member states of their own free will to write it into their own constitutions that they have to balance their budgets

Exactly what counts as giving more powers to Brussels isn't very clear, since the EU's edicts are generally put into effect by UK ministers under the powers they're given by UK Acts of Parliament.

New Labour are the laid-back, middle-aged couple who made it in the early '90s and sunk money into holidays, going to concerts (where they were older than the target audience by a few decades) and had fun rather than paying off their mortgage.
