Euro referendum
Is the Euro referendum in reality just a complete irrelevance?
As most papers are fanatically Anti-Europe and have spent the last 30 years slating anything European. Any Euro referendum is just bound to come up with a no. So what's the media getting all excited about?

And they would. But as it is realised by the government that a referendum is a good idea to prevent all out rioting in this country they will hold one. But your right, the people will vote a big fat NO to the europe idea. And a good job too. I dont want to say i live in the US of E or say i come from The state of England but my government is working from Germany and our finances being run from Paris and the rest of it while the Euro army police's non violent countries and The Arab nations carry on fighting without intervention. Your taxes and interest rates governed by a European that does not give a damn about little old England. Quite honestly.....save bloody England and the UK from the scheming French and Germans....Blair?? Sell our country at your own risk. Dont sell your sole to the devil. Does that answer your question??
Wel well well, big suprise on the news just now.
At the next round of European talks apart from unified taxation policing, military policies etc etc., they think that with all the new countries that will be joining, the "union" needs to be run in a different way. At the moment every country gets a crack of the whip for 6 months, to be leader.
One of the "newer" ideas being mooted is to have a PRESIDENT, well what a suprise !!!!
As for Blair, hes not happy with some of the wordings used in these talks and proposals, he doesnt like the word Federal being used because he thinks it frghtens people off.
Who cares what words are used if the end result is the same ie: England no longer in charge of itself,(we're hardly in charge now) just like a while back when we were a governed province of Rome.
They told us what to do how and when to do it, and taxed us etc etc etc.
Does that answer your question about the relevance of a referendum ?
Well the Government won't hold a referendum unless it thinks it is reasonably sure of winning it, so in that sense, we won't be asked until the government thinks we'll give the "right" answer. But as to it being a certain "No" - that was what was thought of the 1975 Referendum to remain in, yet that got a Yes vote, despite some of the Governing Labour party campaigning against it.
