Sums it up nicely, really:
"Gordon Brown’s government has said there is no justification for a
referendum and the UK should stick to this commitment," said Mr Brok,
the European parliament’s representative on inter-governmental
negotiations on the treaty. "It would be very unfair of the UK if,
having more or less got what it wanted in the new treaty, it would then
turn round and put this to a popular vote."
Don’t let the people have their say: most democratic, don’t you think?
“It would be very unfair of the UK if, having more or less got what it wanted in the new treaty, it would then turn round and put this to a popular vote.”
Spot the weasel words here.
…..The UK got what it wanted…
Actually the UK (if the polls are to be believed) want a referendum.
It’s the UK government that set up meaningless red lines, which evil Johny Foreigner was forced to accept, due to the best of British, and the Government was then able to declare victory.
The British people were nowhere to be seen whilst this charade was being played out.
It’s a pity that while the EU can ignore us, we cannot ignore it.
