Promised EU referendum won't be allowed in Britain.(Inside Track)(Brief article)
When the 2004 EU Constitution was making its way toward ratification by all EU nations, French and Dutch voters issued a resounding No in referenda in their nations. Because acceptance by all nations is required, that killed the constitution. So the European world planners went back to the drawing board. In 2007 at a gathering in Lisbon, the leaders of the 27 EU nations produced a new document called the "EU Treaty."
Treaty ratification has begun, and the British people were gearing up for the promised referendum in their country. But it won't happen. The British parliament, heavily influenced by new Prime Minister Gordon Brown, told angry Britons, "If this was a constitutional treaty, we would hold the referendum. But the constitutional concept was abandoned."
