	Gisela Stuart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gisela Gschaider Stuart (born November 26, 1955 as Gisela Gschaider) is the member of Parliament for Birmingham Edgbaston in the United Kingdom.
		Stuart was born in Velden, Bavaria, Germany and has taken her parent's Roman Catholic faith.
		Stuart was a junior health minister until 2001 and accompanied Tony Blair on a visit to a Birmingham hospital where he was surprised by Sharron Storer who demanded that he improve health services; some commentators speculated that Blair's embarrassment at this incident during the 2001 election campaign led to Stuart being dropped from the government.

		Gisela Stuart MP, whose influential Fabian pamphlet did much to begin a British political debate about the EU constitution, says that the government's shift "will show up the absence of any coherent policy on Europe from the Conservative opposition, who have been hiding behind the vacuous slogan of 'we will ask the people'".
		"Gisela Stuart, a former pro-European minister who became sceptical when she served as one of the British representatives on the body which drew up the constitution said: "I would welcome it if the government does confirm that it intends to hold a referendum on the constitution.
		Gisela Stuart also demanded that all MPs be given a free vote on the ratification of the treaty if the government continues to rule out a referendum.

		Gisela Stuart, Labour MP for Birmingham Edgbaston since 1997, served as one of two House of Commons representatives on the European Convention, chaired by former French President Valery Giscard d’Estaing, which met for sixteen months and produced the Draft Constitution for Europe.
		Gisela Stuart argues that we must change the way that we deal with Europe in Whitehall and Westminster and in our broader public debate if Britain is to contribute fully to the reshaping of European politics.
		Senior Labour backbencher Tony Wright supported Gisela Stuart's call for better democratic scrutiny of the EU Constitution at the launch event in the House of Commons on Wednesday 10th December.

		In conclusion, Gisela Stuart argued that the political will to assure a prominent place for development in the EU must come from the Member States, not the Commission.

		On the contrary, she is a moderate, well-connected Blairite, which explains why she was appointed as the only British representative on the small "presidium" charged with producing the draft EU constitution, due to be agreed by European heads of state at the weekend.
		Far from going native in Brussels, Ms Stuart argues that the draft constitution is not the minor constitutional "tinkering" which Mr Blair and the Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, claim it to be - hence their refusal to agree to a public referendum on its acceptance.
		She says: "From my experience at the convention, it is clear that the real reason for the constitution - and its main impact - is the political deepening of the Union," which would further centralise power in Brussels, including a common EU foreign policy and common taxes.

	Guardian Unlimited Politics \| Special Reports \| UK 'wants constitution agreed this week'
		Gisela Stuart, the Labour MP who sat on the convention's 13-strong presidium or steering group, complained that it was drawn up by a "self-selected group of the European political elite" determined to deepen European integration.
		Mr MacShane's words not only contradict Ms Stuart's views, but are at odds with Jack Straw's insistence that the EU could survive without an agreement and that the government will not sign up to one if it is not in the national interest.
		Ms Stuart describes the members of the convention as a "self-selected group of the European political elite" which was determined to push ahead with further European integration regardless of the views of the European people.

	The campaign against the EU Constitution - Vote No (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Gisela Stuart, a Labour MP who helped to draw up the EU Constitution, this week described it as "a lost opportunity".
		She said that "the Constitution only provides for powers to flow to the EU centre" and does nothing to stem the flow of regulations from Brussels which harm businesses.
		Ms Stuart also attacked the claim that if Britain were to vote "no" in a referendum it would be thrown out of the EU.

		Gisela Stuart, a Labour MP and Britain's sole voice on the 13-strong drafting "Praesidium", raised the pressure on Downing Street to stand firm on Britain's "red lines".
		She said it was under no moral obligation to accept a text "riddled with imperfections" and rigged by "a self-selected group of the European political elite".
		In a blistering pamphlet for the Fabian Society, German-born Mrs Stuart exposed the pretence that the wordy text is needed to tidy up the treaties or pave the way for EU expansion, saying "the real reason for the constitution - and its main impact - is the political deepening of the union".

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Letters: More wrangling over the future of Europe
		What a shame that Gisela Stuart's good work on the European convention is now being undermined (We have to tear it up and start again, December 17).
		Her pamphlet has, perhaps unintentionally, fuelled the hoary Eurosceptic myth that the EU is about centralisation, but as she well knows, the draft constitution does not transfer any new fields of responsibility from national to European level.
		Gisela Stuart expresses a wish for a typical British debate as to whether the EU should be a much looser body (ie back to the free trade zone of the common market) or a federal state.

	Society \| Milburn continues as reformer
		The architect of the NHS plan had told the prime minister, Tony Blair, before the election that he was keen to stay as health secretary and oversee the implementation of his reforms.
		Two of his team leave: the assiduous health minister John Denham, moves to the Home Office; Gisela Stuart, who hung onto her marginal Birmingham Edgbaston seat and had been tipped for promotion, is surprisingly dropped from government altogether.
		Ironically, she is also one of Ms Stuart's closest friends in politics: as a member of the Labour Women's Network she successfully advised Ms Stuart on how to be selected as an MP in the mid-1990s.

	The Emerging European Soviet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Stuart, a member of the Labor Party and an enthusiastic Europhile, is more than a little put off by the secrecy and conspiratorial nature of the convention process, no doubt partly because she was left on the outside of this process, when she expected to be on the inside.
		The “Kerr” Stuart refers to is Sir John Kerr, a veteran one-worlder and former head of the British Diplomatic Service, who served as head of the convention’s Secretariat.
		The subterfuge she describes is precisely the kind of duplicity and deception that has been standard operating procedure from the beginning of the Common Market to the present-day EU.

		Yet more and more of us feel, like Stuart, that emotional faith in the concept of Europe can no longer blind us to the rational objections to the European constitution.
		Europe conducts its affairs in an increasingly fantastic spirit that would be admired by Lewis Carroll, but which becomes frightening when transferred from Wonderland to the political destinies of hundreds of millions of people.
		Britain was by far the most negative state, with positive feelings tumbling to 28 per cent, but even the French were below half for the first time after months of battles with Brussels over tax cuts and illegal aid to ailing firms.

		Which isn't exactly surprising: Labour MP Gisela Stuart, who represented Britain on the constitution's drafting board, worried throughout the conference that the treaty had been hijacked by federalist ideologues.
		Another clause aimed at destroying national vetos was offered to Stuart 20 minutes before she had to catch a plane.
		Despite Stuart's revelations, and mounting evidence from elsewhere that the foreign office was right to see the dead hand of federalism behind the draft, Blair pressed on with his claim that the constitution amounted to little more than a tying up of loose ends.
