I think it's about time someone asked this: why does the Liberal Party want a World Authority? Is it really a good idea? Here is the relevant quote from the Liberal Party constitution:

Also known as cloud cuckoo land, Utopia and the Peoples Paradise. Interestingly, the Lisbon Treaty calls for the EU to:
-
....contribute to peace, security, the sustainable development of the Earth, solidarity and mutual respect among peoples…
Somehow the idea of "liberal" and the EU don't really go together.

The old Liberal Party constitution had a reference to the League of Nations, decades after the League had ceased to exist. I suspect the “world authority” is not a sinister world government but the United Nations. Anyway why worry, the con Libs conveniently ignore their own policy when it suits them; Just look at the policy on referenda, or not using the Standards Board.
UKIP wants the UK to leave the EU, but what about the UN, NATO, Commomwealth, WEU, Council of Europe.
