Let the people decide

As a Lib Dem, you won't be surprised to hear that I am wholeheartedly committed to a strong European Union, but I don't understand what Gordon Brown is up to at present.

Brown, and Blair before him, seem to be obsessed with telling us about the 'red lines' that they have negotiated, lines across which the EU Constitutional Treaty may not tread. The Tories seem similarly hung up on whether the Treaty is a Constitution 'in disguise'!

The Lib Dems were the only parliamentary party to call for a Referendum on the Maastrict Treaty and I think it's time that we demanded the same for the European Constitutional Treaty.

The people of the UK should given the credit and the opportunity to decide through a Referendum - not Gordon Brown!
