It looks like Jack Straw is going to announce tomorrow that because Holland and France have voted no on the EU Constitution that they are going scrap our referendum because the Constitution is dead.

Leftists will always find a way to promote ever bigger, more intrusive government. As much as I admire Blair's stand on Iraq and his obvious friendship with GWB -- and am grateful -- I never forget he is a Leftist.

Like you, I fear they will find a way to bring back the "constitution" and ram it down the throats of the European people.

Also Blair was so clever he said we would no have our referendum until next year knowing that France and Holland were likely to vote no. So in reality there was no chance of us every having the vote. He originally was not going to volunteer it until it became obvious the Constitution was not popular and the Conservatives were demanding a referendum and with an election looming he had no alternative but to say we would have a referendum.

Now with taking over the Presidency of the EU he will not want to ruffle any euro feathers that might blight this time for him like Clinton he loves to be in the limelight and to be popular another disease of the left.
