"we are to become citizens of this "Union" before anything else - just as the inhabitants of Texas are above all American citizens - with rights and duties overriding those attaching to our subordinate role as citizens of Britain.", & "[The president of the EU] will have his own diplomatic corps and worldwide embassies, intended gradually to replace those of individual countries such as Britain ..."

I'm sure this will be reflected in the UN - and Security Council - as soon as the papers are signed....No?

“I’m sure this will be reflected in the UN - and Security Council - as soon as the papers are signed....No?”

That’s what I have been wondering. Now that Britain and France have signed this treaty, thereby effectively eliminating their national sovereignty, they should no longer hold seats as iondepednent nations on the UN Security Council, nor should they be able to have an indepednent vote in any UN process. The EU will have one vote, just as the US has one vote and the USSR had one vote when it was in existence. The UN Security Council should now be the US, China, Russia, the EU, and India.
