Os ministros prometem para lutar chamadas crescentes pelo referendum do tratado do EU

Por Marie Woolf

Os ministros, including David Miliband, a secretária extrangeira, são ajustados para vir para fora lutando esta semana de encontro às demandas de crescimento por um referendum do tratado do EU.

As fontes do governo dizem que uma corda dos ministros quer “lhe faz o espaço livre” que o governo tem um mandato para o tratado novo da reforma, dado no conselho europeu em junho. O governo veio sob a pressão crescente última semana recusar governar para fora um referendum. But the Prime Minister is expected to firmly rule out a referendum later this week.

The move follows intense pressure on Gordon Brown from members of his own party. A campaign led by the Labour MP Ian Davidson, who said that up to a third of Labour MPs could back calls for an EU treaty, was joined by the former Europe minister, Keith Vaz, on Friday. He said: “We should not be afraid of actually putting this argument before the British people. We don’t need a referendum on the reformed treaty because we didn’t have one on the Nice Treaty or on Maastricht. But I think there’s a difference between need and desirability.

“I think once and for all we need to put this behind us by putting it to the British people. I am absolutely convinced that we will win any test of public opinion as to whether or not the British people want us in Europe.”
