I doubt it - remember The Nice Treaty Ireland voted NO. Then they had to have another referendum.

Was this the referendum that was held while I was asleep for 1 second?Originally posted by sunnysan View PostThe decision to sign the treaty was based on a referendum held last summer where an overwhelming majority of the population of the UK voted in favour of signing it.
Gordon Brown praised the referendum as a stellar example of "democracy in action" and added that "states and government who try to sidestep due democratic process on technicalities" are treating their own people with utter contempt.

EU Constitution
David Millband has signed the new EU treaty as a representitive of the people of Britain. Gordon Brown is flying to Lisbon later.
The decision to sign the treaty was based on a referendum held last summer where an overwhelming majority of the population of the UK voted in favour of signing it.
Gordon Brown praised the referendum as a stellar example of "democracy in action" and added that "states and government who try to sidestep due democratic process on technicalities" are treating their own people with utter contempt.Tags: None
