The break-up of the United Kingdom into EU Regions will take place if future
governments fail to take back the powers given over to Europe. It is imperative that the
long-term effects of devolution for Scotland and Wales and of the future of rural
communities -- affected by decisions made by Europe -- be now faced as a matter of the
highest national importance. The people of the countryside have already been provoked to
restrain those in government who have broken faith with them -- and they will certainly not
be the last to act. Added to this is the future of Northern Ireland, which will remain crucial
to the defence of this nation's mainland.

Many other questions on behaviour in our constitutionally Christian society need to be
debated, questions which threaten the family as the basic building block of society. It is the
law abiding family that requires to be defended, not the nondiscrimination rights of the
minority which has become an ever-increasing burden upon -- and has proved destructive
of -- the foundation family.

In 1997, at the 350th Anniversay of the great Army debates under the presidency of
Oliver Cromwell, we issued a call for a new "great debate" on the Crown and
Commonwealth. Five years to the day later, on October 28, 2002, the proposed EU
Constitution was announced.

In consequence, the end of Britain's present constitutional settlement is now at hand. It
is time to "wake up the mighty men" (Joel 3:9).

The foundations of the British nation must be restored. Let us look at them anew and
indeed "unto the rock from whence we were hewn" (Isaiah 51:5), as the people of The
Faith, inheritors of a unique constitutional freedom and of a destiny with global
dimensions. The imperative at this hour is not only for a great debate, but for a great
alliance to restore the British way of life.
