We would be where we are at the moment (which everyone agrees is not satisfactory) and hated by almost every other EU partner (I&#39;m being ironic). Much better to accept that it is going to be ratified and set about renegotiating with EU Partners who don&#39;t viscerally hate us.<br /><br />I&#39;m going to be blog about this over the next couple of days.startledcodhttps://startledcod.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-6113780884701407532009-11-02T12:32:41.032Z2009-11-02T12:32:41.032Zbring it on.Tory Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05099597763862011749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-9930863529657209372009-11-02T12:31:50.584Z2009-11-02T12:31:50.584ZWell if David Cameron can shout about a referendum for the Lisbon Treaty then maybe when he becomes PM he can also shout about one for Scots independence??<br /><br />Mr Cameron, over to you!!!AMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384911559335776492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-87676017829031113312009-11-02T11:36:32.973Z2009-11-02T11:36:32.973ZPardon an old fogey posting a note on grammar, but that should be &quot;per se&quot;.ruperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354440216883300746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-10825453026585399562009-11-02T09:36:42.566Z2009-11-02T09:36:42.566ZMost treaties have some provision for withdrawal given suitable notice, and I&#39;m sure this one will be no different. Thus instead of a referendum on whether we should ratify the treaty, it could be a referendum on whether we should give notice that we are withdrawing from the treaty.<br />Of course, personally, I&#39;d rather have a referendum on withdrawing from the EU.Brian E.noreply@blogger.com
