It was predicatble but sad that the Dutch cabinet have considered and ruled out a referendum on the “Not the Constitution” Treaty.
What is even more typical of the present governing classes of Western Europe is the reason given in some of the press - that they could not hold one because they would lose it!
This Constitutional Treaty comes over more and more as part of the grand plan to sideline and overrrule the electors of Europe, forcing us all to accept yet more government from Brussels when there is little chance of persuading all the electorates to freely welcome it and vote for it.
All the fine words in their declarations about human rights and democracy are meaningless if they will not let us all have a vote on this unloved Treaty. They are inventing their own governing language, where their words have nothing in common with their undemocratic actions.
All governments that are seeking to force this Treaty through without a vote should be ashamed of themselves. I trust those governments that have to go to the polls soon for other reasons will be made to suffer for their refusal to let us vote on the EU Treaty.
