MOST certainly not. The Lisbon Treaty may have been signed by virtue of underhand tactics such as offering Ireland 2 votes. In the UK, of course, Brown railroaded through UK approval in his usual arrogant fashion, having promised a referendum.

There is no reason why David Cameron, once he wins the next General Election, cannot offer a referendum on EU membership, period. He is showing signs of having been got at on this subject but needs to be reminded about who pays his wages and what we think.
