Cynical Sarkozy blocks our EU vote

Tuesday, 13 November 2007

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has admitted that a referendum on the European "Reform" Treaty in Britain would lead to a no vote. He says there will be "no referendum in France because that would mean having one in Britain and that would be a danger to Europe."

Speaking at the Conference of Presidents in Strasbourg, Mr Sarkozy said that if the treaty were put to the people of France and Britain, then the treaty would fall.

He said there was a large divide between the governments and the people throughout the Union on this issue.

The President has revealed that not only will the French people not have the chance to vote on the treaty, which they rejected in 2005, but that the government will ratify the treaty in the first few weeks of 2008.

Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party, says Mr Sarkozy is "guilty of an utterly cynical political plan."

He said: "Not only does he stop his own people from having a say, but he is also blocking Britain from having the referendum which this government promised."

Mr Farage added: "At least he was honest about one thing. He admits that the British people would say no to the treaty."

The Minister for Europe, Jim Murphy, has been meeting with the Dutch government to discuss ways of avoiding having a referendum.

Due to the problems currently being experienced at Smokespeak. I have re-directed www.freedom2choose.co.uk to my own blog. I would like those who wish to post factual links and scientific info to do so. I will provide the posting detail to those who email me. I would like to think this can be kept for information only rather than comment. It will enable me to collate important facts for later use.

As a Licensee of many years standing I am getting fed up with the amount of people who think it's right to reserve and table or book a room and then not turn up, I have therefore registered www.swindonnoshow.co.uk and intend to link it to this blog. In this way other Swindon area businesses can publish details of those who do not show up. We will all then be able to search and know if these are repeat abusers.
