Respect and other key words

Friends at work

The debate in parliament at Westminster to-morrow is important, and not just for its subject, the EU.

It is the first debate under the UK’s 100,000 signature petition procedure.  Members of parliament, ministers and shadow ministers will respect and rise to the occasion.

Words are important.  Parliaments are houses of words.  The words in a constitutional document are especially significant.

The constitution of the United States of America seeks

A more perfect union.

The treaties of Rome and Lisbon seek

An ever closer union.

The words chosen speak from, betray perhaps, the history, the experience, the ambitions and the vision of the people who wrote them.

I hope for, and want to be part of, a diverse and more perfect world.  What do you want?
