In this paper it is explained how successive British governments have
surrendered our democracy to layers of international bureaucracy which have
acquired completely unaccountable power over our legal, political, economic
and social decisions. At the heart of the matter, Professor Minogue argues, is
the curious form of idealism that disdains pride in Britain and British
culture, preferring to give allegiance to a far more vaguely defined ideology
of internationalism. This rejection of national sovereignty, and the
subsequent embracing of unaccountable transnational institutions, as advocated
by our political establishment, has led to the British people submitting to
more and more authority which comes dressed as virtue

In the first of the Bruges Group's A New World Order: What Role for
Britain? papers Professor Minogue argues that national interest are being
undermined by two factors: the "Olympian" attitude of legal
activists and international bureaucrats, backed by academics who wish to
create a new international order that would not be accountable or responsible
to anyone except those who run it and by the supposedly supranational but
really ersatz-national European Union. As a result of this dual development
Britain and Britishness may fade away
