Tony Blair adviser: No need for EU referendum - by Martin Banks
Tony Blair's former Europe adviser says the UK should accept the European Union reform treaty. The treaty has ignited fierce opposition in Britain because of ignorance, with critics claiming it amounts to a revived version of the old EU Constitution, which was abandoned after being rejected in referendums in France and the Netherlands."We trust parliament to take decisions on the death penalty, abortion, euthanasia and going to war. Those who say parliament is not competent to decide this issue should be campaigning for a referendum on the British constitution, not Europe." He pointed out that two-thirds of EU member states had already ratified it.
