Your own party members are still asking for a referendum even though the Lisbon Treaty has been ratified..why? I hear you ask. Well for two reasons firstly the last person to consult the great British public over their feelings towards the EU was Harold Wilson who called for a referendum after the Uk had joined.He wanted to be in a position of strength when approaching the old EEC with the publics backing.
The same is true about today,Cameron really needs to either put to bed his Eurosceptics once and for all by an overwhelming vote in favour of the Lisbon Treaty or go back to Brussels with a strong No vote.These are the thoughts of Bill Cash and co.So there is a valid point to hold a referendum even though the treaty has been ratified and a precendent was set by the Labour Party and Harold Wilson.
