Give us a referendum

Published by John Redwood at 3:55 pm under Blog

Gordon Brown should promise to honour Blair’s pledge to hold a referendum on the Constitutional treaty, which the outgoing Prime Minister is backing away from.

Tony Blair - to our delight - promised us a referendum on the Constitution. When Conservative MPs pressed?? him to give us one whatever other countries did, he said he would. ??He has failed to honour this promise. Worse still, there are now press briefings that he will accept some of the worst features of the Constitution before he leaves, and tell us we do not need a referendum.

It’s a great oppotunity for Gordon Brown to prove his Euroscepticism is more than skin deep or just spin. We need a vote on the EU, and we need it soon. We are fed up with the everlasting power grab by Brussels.
