A New European Constitution


A New European Constitution.

Following on from my previous piece on the European State, I would like to make a few suggestions on a new constitution for Europe based not on the hollow charade of financial democracy, but on a return to the virile attributes of the true essence of Europe, ancient Rome.
I asked before that if workers militias are to be the sentinel of the Guilds in a European future how would they be organised? It was envisaged that each Guild would be have its own militia organization, factory/office units being answerable to the Guild militia commanders, themselves answerable to the Guild itself. Certain people it was proposed would naturally rise to command in the Guild militias. It was these commanders that would go on to training in martial discipline, ideological development and philosophy.


My proposal is that among this warrior/philosopher/worker elite that the elders among them would comprise a senate in each of the countries of Europe. As in the Roman Republic, these senates would hold real power, yet governing in conjunction with the Grand European Corporate Chamber which itself will have created the European Economic Plan, and this plan would set the limits which the Senates would have to work within.

Some sort of executive would of course be necessary. Drawing once more from the Roman model, from the various senates would be drawn The Consulate, consisting itself of three Consuls one of whom one will operate for a given period as the First Consul of Europe (First Consul).
Similar to ancient Rome it would be the official body in charge of foreign affairs including the sending and receiving of ambassadors. Furthermore, all military and defence matters would be its responsibility. However, the Consulate would have no legislative powers.

Perhaps then Europe can mean more than the shallow deals of the money-grubbers for ever in thrall to non-European powers.
