New World Order on parade. The elites of Europe are calling for a single Head of State for the continent, an end to single-member vetoes, a unified European police force, and a unified European army.

GERMANY, France and nine of Europe's most powerful countries have called for an elected European Union president and an end to Britain's veto over defence policy, in a radical blueprint for the continent's future. In a document released following a meeting between 11 foreign ministers in Warsaw, the bloc charted a vision for the ''future of Europe''.
As well as calling for a single, elected head of state for Europe, the bloc demanded a new defence policy, under the control of a pan-EU foreign ministry commanded by Baroness Ashton, which ''could eventually involve a European army''.
In order to ''prevent one single member state from being able to obstruct initiatives'', a reference to British opposition to a European army, the German-led group demanded an end to existing national vetoes over foreign and defence policy. This would give the EU the power to impose a decision on Britain if it was supported by a majority of other countries.
The bloc also called for a new European police force patrolling the external borders of the Schengen passport-free zone and a single European visa.
The plan, which has the backing of Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Holland, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg and Portugal, is likely to increase calls for a British referendum on EU membership.
The document also proposed powers for the European Parliament and further splitting of the EU, by creating a new parliamentary sub-chamber for the 17 countries of the eurozone.
