European Union (Scrutiny) Bill, 2001 changed from European Union Bill, 2001: Second Stage.
Elements of the "No" campaign, which claim to be part of the left, to be socialists or to be representative of the working class, are arrogant and intentional in their modus operandi of preventing workers here from benefiting from European Union directives which this country would not have were it not for the European Parliament. People who purport to represent workers are asking them to vote against a treaty which copperfastens their rights.
