Consensual union
« on: November 21, 2007, 11:31:24 PM »
This is Euro-speak for what exactly? I've been perplexed by this all day having heard the UKIP member decry it as a SEX enquiry.

I have never knowingly placed those two words together... in that order... ever  eeek: Hardly romantic, is it?  The other side are claiming something was lost in translation; I'd like to know what  eyes:

The Euro Freaks claim it is meant to define anyone in a "live together" relationship by mutual consent. They want to do away with Partner, Spouse etc. and claim that this phrase shows no discrimination as it does not define marital status or gender.

What the hell is wrong with partner anyway? Or co-habitation? This consensual bollocks makes it sound like a rape trial!

Probably makes perfect sense to someone sat in Brussels with a Walloon/English dictionary as his guide. ::)

Agreed Wenchy- bizarre terminology. eeek:

The whole idea of Unity in a relationship was given up on long ago. Think the EU has been reading too much Hans Christain Anderson propoganda again  lol:
