AFP: Dutch government says no referendum on new EU treaty
THE HAGUE (AFP) — The Dutch government on Friday refused to order a referendum on a new EU constitutional treaty which risks opening up new divisions over Europe.

Voters in the Netherlands and France in 2005 rejected an earlier proposal for an EU constitution in referendums, plunging the EU into a major political crisis. Much of Europe has been watching to see whether the Dutch government would call a popular vote.


Governments worldwide are showing their efficiency as they bypass the troublesome citizenry they serve. And of course, you have the same thing in Britain. After all, the EU is an integral part of the supra-national government plans that have been around for a great many years.

Wait till they see our NAU referendum. When was that supposed to be, again?
