    Never.

    The last referendum (in the 1970s) was about coming out of the so-called "Common Market".

    The concept that it was a European Super State wasn't even on the agenda.
    Aye. I remember going round sticking "No" stickers on everything.

    I don't want an EU president.

    When did I vote to hand over all that sovereignty to the EU?

    Andyw hits the spot.

    I'd vote "sure, why not?" but the closest option is too extreme, I just think he'd be OK at it.

    Thatcher would be spinning in her grave if she wasn't still alive.

    The grinning odious one is being tipped for president of the European Union. How do you feel?
    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle6857714.ece

    ...the chances look reasonable that Mr Blair will be handed the keys to the new Résidence Palace. The £280million showcase complex, being built to accommodate the offices of the European president and new EU foreign minister created by the Libson treaty, is only one of the prizes on offer. The remuneration package is expected to include a €267,000 (£242,000) salary, chauffeur-driven car and a personal staff of about 20.
