All the contributors to this site – and my email correspondents – are united in seeing how Tony Blair’s last act is in some ways his worst (Iraq aside). ??He has stitched Britain up with a shady deal, that brings most of the Constitution into effect whilst denying us the right to vote it down.

As someone who?? voted "No" in 1975 because I did not believe then then Labour government’s promises on Europe, who urged Margaret Thatcher not to give away any powers in the Single European Act, who??urged from within the government not to sign Maastricht?? and resigned from the government to help save the pound, and who has voted against Nice and Amsterdam in Parliament, you can rest assured I want a Eurosceptic solution to the problem of the UK in Europe. I am also very conscious that with the exception of winning the battle??to save??our currency, the Eurosceptic majority has lost all the way since 1972.

??To those who say we should not trust to a referendum, I say you are wrong. I have every confidence the British people would vote down any proposal put them to give more power to the EU. Why would we want the EU, which has done so much damage to fishing and farming where it has complete power, to run other things? The only way to start winning all the time we have a federalist government (Labour or Lib-Lab) is to secure a referendum. The only thing we have won in the last thirty years is the currency, where we did so by first securing??the promise of a ??referendum.

A Conservative government led by David Cameron would negotiate a very different relationship for the UK with the EU partners. The more power the federalist parties give away, the more we will need to change the agreements. It is time for all Euroscpetics to unite and fight. The first battle is the battle to secure a referendum on this new version of the Constitution. The Conservative leadership is clear on this issue, and right on this issue. All Eurosceptics should respond to the clarion call.
