        Cameo is keen to show his credentials as a new type of politician.
        He’s a little brittle, lumpen and heavy, worst of all he cracks easily, in his own words on 26 September 2007:

        “Today, I will give this cast-iron guarantee: If I become PM a Conservative government will hold a referendum on any EU treaty that emerges from these negotiations.

        No treaty should be ratified without consulting the British people in a referendum.”

        Really, cast iron guarantee, is that true, or is it one of many lies he has spouted before and since?

        Conservitude Cameo, you just can’t trust him.

          It’s almost as good as this quote from Gordy The Clown:

          “We set up the Financial Services Authority to, you know before we came into power there was a sort of self regulatory system so you know they more or less regulated themselves. We brought in a statutory regulatory system, supervisory system, but of course we couldn’t know exactly what was going on in every individual bank and it’s only in the last few days to be honest that what has happened over this pension has come to light.”

          Gordy Brown – ‘Trust’is his middle name….

          Call Me Dave’s cast iron guarantee is just that, ‘Cast Iron’, and some of the finest iron around – as solid as cast iron can possibly be! Well, it may get a little rusty but let’s not be too picky!

          It could certainly support all that lovely gold that India bought…..

          The problem with “cast iron” guarantee is it probably used the cheap shit that New Labour’s Mittal is peddling. So it breaks easily and sinks into oblivion.

          Now come on, he may have broken a cast iron guarantee but at least he has loosely implied that he might do something else (unspecified) later on. What more do you want?

          Surely that would be enough to stop you from joining the “closet racist fruitcakes” at UKIP.

      Watch UKIP now going to be systematically destroyed, before any election is to be allowed. The bastards are carving the crumbs of sovereignty up between themselves.

      Lamp posts are too few and too quick. Eternal llife will be the punishment. never, never never be allowed to die, ever, and kept fully conscious for thousands and thousands and thousands of years. No sleep neither. Until paid. Then still no death.

          • The Inquisition says:

            Guido Fawkes was hung drawn and quartered, part of which process consisted of witnessing his own intestines being griddled on a brazier.

            It began with a procedure along these lines, which involved making an incision in the abdominal area, separating the duodenum from the pylorus, and attaching of the upper part of the intestine to a crank. The crank then would be rotated to extract the intestines from the gastrointestinal cavity of a conscious person, for the purposes of torture.

            Mmmmm, you can just smell it.

          • Sod 'em all says:

            I think Guido Fawkes jumped off the scaffold and killed himself by in the noose before he could witness his intestines being griddled on a brazier. Smart chap.

            Fortunately he didn’t. That story has been debunked many times.

      horrorfan24 says:

      Don’t hold your breath, Cameron and the tories are no better than Labour. If you think we live in a democracy, whereby we the people have any real power, you are sadly mistaken.

      The only politics we have now is the politics of soundbites and spin. Unles Cameron promises a full referendum on whether Britain should be in the EU at all, followed up with a promise that if we the people vote no, then he will give us a complete withdrawl from the EU, then forget it.

      As I say don’t hold your breath, all you’ll get is more vague dribble and no real concreate promises. It’s all spin and how to promise people everything, without having to commit or deliver. It’s answering questions without answering them, that’s modern politics

        Mr Ned says:

        That is why the majority in this country who are SICK AND TIRED of the corrupt and rabidly ANTI-British political class, should get off their collective arses and GO AND VOTE TO FIRE THE CURRENT BASTARDS!

        We ALL have a choice. We ARE getting a say at the general election and the fact is that this will be the LAST CHANCE to have our say, before our nation is utterly consumed by the EU.

        SO, before that happens, let’s get a massive, grass-roots campaign up and running to SAVE THIS COUNTRY FROM RULE BY A FOREIGN DICTATORSHIP! Whilst there is still a chance.

          Cameron will give you more EU, more immigrants and more Bl… PC.
          Thats just for starters.
          Many Tories seem in total denial.
          They are just as deluded and stupid as the uneducated mass who would go along and vote labour whilst it kicked them where it hurt.
          At least many of these Labour ‘loyalists’have seen the light. It seems many Tories are thicker than the thick if they can whitter on about trusting Shameron.

          • Mr Ned says:

            Indeed.

            They do not realise that there is fuck all Cameron can do to “reclaim” powers from the EU once Lisbon goes through.

            The tories talked tough about the EU last time and still signed us up to Maastricht without a referendum. Who can prove that they will be any different in power next time?

            Now that Lisbon removes any possibility of the need for a referendum, Cameron promises them on every OTHER treaty that may be forthcoming.

            AHA, but get this, the Lisbon treaty is self amending, which means that there will NEVER BE another treaty.

            Whatever powers the EU dark overlords requires can be added as an amendment to the already in-force Lisbon treaty and NO re-ratification will be needed!!!

            So to be fair to the treasonous Europhiles, Lisbon can be changed after ratification. Indeed that is the whole point of it. BUT, it will NEVER be changed to give powers BACK to nation states, when the future direction of the EU is dedicated to eradicating the nation state completely.

            UKIP are about to gain a hell of a lot of new members!

      Mr Ned says:

      Ditto.

      Give me a vote on the EU or I vote UKIP all the way, and encourage EVERYONE else to do the same.

      What is the point in choosing between a blue and a red EU puppet?

      The real choice is between the EU swallowing this entire nation, breaking it up into regions leaving us ruled by a de facto dictatorship? Or voting FOR this nation to continue to exist and become a wholly independent, free nation once more.

      So do we vote for democracy, or dictatorship?

      UKIP for a democratic future.

          Mr Ned says:

          You can support treason any way you like, but the numbers speak for themselves.

          The VAST majority in this country would stay in the EU of 5 years ago.

          Given a choice between ALL the way in to a European dictatorship lead by Blair et al, and all the way out though, they will massively choose OUT!

          Calling me and other patriotic people names, WILL NOT CHANGE THAT FACT.

          22% of the electorate gave labour a 66 seat majority.

          40% DID NOT EVEN VOTE

          the reason being, they did not see the point.

          LISBON changes that, as we waken to the realisation that the next general election will be the LAST CHANCE to save our country from total eradication as an independent nation by a European dictatorship.

        ian e says:

        Yes. I hate the UKIPs, but the Europe issue must be resolved democratically. If it’s pointless to have a referendum on a ratified Lisbon treaty, give us an In/Out referendum. If not, then despite being a lifelong Tory [look at all my other posts here and elsewhere (BenBrogan, ConHome, PoliticsHome etc) if you think I'm a UKIP troll] I will vote UKIP to let Cameron know how strongly people feel on this issue. The NuLab hoons let us down (surprise, surprise), the LimpDems always let everyone down; please, DC, do not join their treacherous band?!

          Ian e is absolutely right. This is not a tantrum as backwoodsman portrays it but the only reasonable reponse to the breakdown in trust engendered by Call Me Cast Iron Dave’s betrayal of his own promise. He LIED; If he can lie about a clear unequivocal pledge why can he be trusted in any putative manifesto promise?

          • Mr Ned says:

            This is the only LOGICAL response to realising that our nation is about to be finally eliminated as an independent state.

            The old, pre-Lisbon EU served this nation. The new post-Lisbon EU will devour this nation.

            We MUST have a say in this.

            Grant us a referendum, OR we will turn the general election into our promised referendum. END OF!

      Now the Czechs have been paid-off, it’s a done deal. We may as well have a vote on the Munich Agreement for all the difference it will make.

      It’s Brown that is the culprit here for going back an a manifesto promise not Cameron.

        Mr Ned says:

        Did you know that you represent the clear MAJORITY view in this country?

        Did you know that IF you, and all the others who feel like you, voted against the mainstream, then the labour party and the tory party would be WIPED OUT!

        1) 22% of the electorate gave labour a 66 seat majority.
        2) 40% did not vote
        3) ALL politicians are trusted far less now than in 2005.

        Imagine what the current 60% of pissed off electorate could do, just once, if we all agreed to actually get off our arses, just ONCE and simply put a little cross on a piece of paper.

        There are many more of us than there are labour and tory voters COMBINED!

        Do not give up. We CAN take our country back and take it back EASILY.

        All it will take is a single, one-off, temporary vote for UKIP, or the B&P next May.

        They can give us our country back, then we can return to arguing about who can run THIS COUNTRY better., labour tory or liberal, or green or monster raving loony or whomever.

        If we fail, If we do not get out and vote, then we will have given away our country forever. We will have pissed on our war-dead and we will never ever deserve to be forgiven.

        Get out and VOTE, get EVERYONE who feels the same to get out and vote. That is the ONLY WAY to take our country back. This is a one-time, one off, single offer deal. Take it or lose it forever.

        ALL that is required is ONE simple, easy, painless vote.

        LET’S DO THIS, FOR OUR NATION REALLY IS AT STAKE!!!

          TheCourtOfPublicOpinion says:

          “Temporary vote” reminds me of the NUM pre-Scargill. Each year a President was voted in, who had absolute powers. As soon as Scargill got in he abolished this pesky annual nuisance and decreed the Presidents post is for life, as he could do with those powers. It was just a happy co-incidence that it happened on his watch, natch, and nothing temporary about it at all.

        Dave is not for turning says:

        Mr Cameron gave voters an “iron-clad” promise in 2007 that a Conservative government would hold a popular vote on Lisbon.

        And, in May this year, he said: “A progressive reform agenda demands that we redistribute power from the EU to Britain and from judges to the people. We will therefore hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.”

          Wrong, there have been many years of thought and research and hard work gone into my decision to vote UKIP.

          Hundreds of hours studying many EU treaties have led to that decision

          hundreds of hours studying the world banking system have led to that decision

          Hundreds of hours of studying history have led to that decision.

          It is these hours of research that taught me to recognise treason when I see it, and I see a lot of it on a Continental scale.

          • Hugh Bristic says:

            Mr Ned, from your extensive studies of the matter, you will know that in the UK we have a record of not having very many referenda. I believe this is because we have a system in which Parliament has primacy.
            In Switzerland they have avoided being swallowed by the EU through their system of frequent referenda, which can be triggered by a large enough number of voters petitioning to have one.
            There is little doubt that if we had access to more referenda many of the excesses of the current government could have been curtailed.
            I believe it is also true that many people share the view that our parliamentary process has been degraded by the over centralisation of government, the tyrrany of the party system and the squalid self interest of the current generation of MPs.
            I doubt whether it is possible for UKIP to sweep the board at the next election, but I hope that we can persuade the electorate that we need to totally reform our system of government which is broken and unfitted for the 21st century.
            To protect the people from the delusions of grandeur of the political class, we need a system that empowers the electorate to obtain a binding referendum if a large enough number feel that we are going down a wrong track.
            It is not just the EU where this parliament has failed.
            Referenda should be ours by right on any subject where sufficient support can be gathered.
            The use of blogs to obtain support for citizens’rights should not be underestimated.

            no exeng, we the people have not agreed to those terms.
            those terms have never been placed before us to decide upon.
            the fact that we voted in politicians who sold us down the river does not change the fact that those traitors had no authority to sign their unconstitutional treaties as the Sovereignty of Parliament lies with the people, the voters, not the tenants, the politicians.
            if they wish to strip us of that Sovereignty then they will have to directly ask us and not try to sneak it through like thieves in the night without our permission. if they do we will chop their heads off or hang them.
            and when the politicians ask us if they can sell our Sovereignty for nothing to a foreign power then we will say no.
            you see we seem to have reached an impasse. I will defend this country and its constitution with my life. you are a coward and so you would not.

The real damage has been done by Labour who promised us a referendum then for some mysterious reason (money? promises of Presidency?) decided not to bother. All we get out of it is a picture of our spineless unelected PM signing on his own because in his mind signing on his own is better than signing in a group (as opposed to not signing the thing as promised).

            Have another look at the constitutional facts – the point I’m making is that the reality of the situation is that the in or out question is the only one that makes sense. Once the Lisbon Treaty (aka The Constitution) is baked into the other EU Treaties then we are F….D.

            I’m no fan of the EU and, whilst a Tory, less than impressed with Dave, but my point regarding UKIP voters and IQ is predicated on the fact that the next Government is faced with the biggest economic pills up since Adam was a lad and, given that, voting for UKIP seems (to me at any rate) a little odd.

            All we can do is leave the EU..if they grant us permission.That permission would result in penalties for ‘breach of contract’that we simply cannot afford.

        If you accept that the Lisbon treaty once ratified cannot be renounced, Cameron would then be in a position to take a mandate (assuming the vote was indeed no to lisbon), to the EU and renegotiate.
        Their response would be interesting – a failure to move would show their true intention and invite more a more robust response.

      whilst cameron might not be totally pleasing the arch-eurosceptics he is also not pleasing those who want immediate tax reductionsor grammar schools or an end to free nhs or many other ideas that some tory voters would like.

      i would love the uk to be out of the EU but there are massive practical issues that have to be dealt with and probably more pressing issues fixing the rest of the country first such as the delinquent benefit class.

      the fact is that with cameron you are going to get a eurosceptic leader and party – maybe not perfectly but it is better than a pro-european labour or lib-lab government which is precisely what all of you tw@ts saying that you will vote for ukip will saddle us all with as a result.

    The Bruges Group made the following statement in response to the news that David Cameron intends to renege on his pledge to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty

    Barry Legg, Co-Chairman of the Bruges Group and former Chief Executive of the Conservative Party says,
    “David Cameron needs to come clean with the British people: why is he breaking his pledge to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty?

    “There was absolutely no wriggle room in the unambiguous pledge he made in September 2007. He offered a “cast iron guarantee” to put any treaty in front of the voters. Why has he changed his mind now? What has changed his mind now?

    “It cannot be good enough for a man who wants to be British Prime Minister to hide behind the leader of any other European state. Václav Klaus is a hero in his own country for having stood up to Communism. David Cameron seemingly can’t even stand up for his own past promises.

    “What is the point in David Cameron upending one pledge on Europe , but promising he’ll offer us yet more European promises in his general election manifesto? Why will they be any more credible than the ‘cast-iron guarantee’ he has just broken?

    “How can David Cameron claim he’ll fight to repatriate powers from Brussels when he won’t even fight to implement his own past words?

    “When David Cameron made his pledge to readers of The Sun to hold a referendum on Lisbon, he said this about the Prime Minister:

    The final reason we must have a vote is trust. Gordon Brown talks about “new” politics. But there’s nothing “new” about breaking your promises to the British public. It’s classic Labour . . . Small wonder that so many people don’t believe a word politicians ever say if they break their promises so casually.

    “The Tory leader stands condemned by his own words.

    “David Cameron’s future European policy is now incoherent, disingenuous and utterly unconvincing. This is a dark day for the Tory party, but a worse one for Britain.”

    Will you be endorsing that point of view Guido?

      Nice idea, but referendums cost hugh amounts of money, following a General Election which will cost millions, the treasury cupboard is completely bare.

    Make you mind up time - 5 more years of Labour or a Cameron Government says:

    All this emoting about we MUST have a vote on Lisbon – the Treaty is law so there’s not an actual lot Cameron can do about it now and merely voting UKIP will probaly likely ensure that we get another 5 years of Labour, which will ensure even further union with Europe.So for all those “Eurosceptics” out there go ahead if that’s what you really want ?

    The real traitors in all this are Labour who reneged on their Manifesto promise with weasel words saying that Lisbon was an “amending treaty” only – whereas it has now been shown to be the “Constitution” in all but name .Equally the LibDems have also reneged on their Manifesto Promise too so they too are traitors in my book

    So what can be done ? Well first we need a Conservative government.Some say that Cameron is useless and that you will be voting UKIP or whatever.Well one thing is certain neither a Labour or Lib/Lab Coalition government will do nothing about trying to redress the situation.So first for hope of anything to be done at all there needs to be a Conservative government with an overwhelming majority.Any other electoral outcome merely ensures further loss of sovereignty over the next 5 years.

    So rather than saying its time for Cameron to make HIS mind up – I say rather its time for all those Conservative Councillors,Supporters and others blathering on about never voting Conservative or voting UKIP to make THEIR minds up. Vote for Cameron and the Conservatives and perhaps have a chance to address the matter.Vote UKIP and allow Labour with or without LibDem Support to remain in power and scupper any chance at all. You decide and face the consequences.

    David Cameron says:

    There has been some speculation in the media as to my party and our position on the Lisbon Treaty.

    As you are aware some months ago, I gave a “cast iron pledge” on a referendum to the British people. As the months have rolled on, my chance to “do the right thing” for the country and its people, have wained.

    The Labour party, has through sheer brilliance and political excellence, thwarted every attempt I have made to force an election.

    Time after time, through scandal after scandal, where lesser governments would have collapsed under intense pressure from the opposition and public anger at the sheer fraud, incompetence, waste and naked dishonesty,
    somehow this Labour government under the heroic leadership of Gordon Brown, Peter Mandelson, Ed Balls, Harriet Harman, Bob Ainsworth et al, have used their collective genius, massive intellect and political nous, to effectively out manoeuvre my attempts to force, well any issues at all quite frankly.

    It now is beholden on me and my party to change our strategy in the face of this immovable and most popular government.
    From now on, no “cast iron” promises will be given on anything at all and if at some future date I enter 10 Downing Street, no discernable policy will ever change.

    Thank you for reading my message.

    Therefore it is with regret we will run on a ticket of vote for us and we will hold a referendum on Europe and compliance with this treaty.
    It is for the people tod ecide. and teh referendum will be two questions.

    1) Do we stay in Europe and shape it or do we withdraw and negotaite a trading partnership like Norway and Switzerland.

    The last thing this country needs is a government with a huge majority.

        Ah well, it’s pleasant watching ferrets fighting in a sack.

          So either we get out of Europe altogether or wait and see what the Tory line is going to be. I am hoping that the EU is told that the UK will not kowtow to them and the whole gravy train is de-railed

          • Moley says:

            A politician with balls would tell the EU that the British people were owed a referendum and that he was going to give them one.

            He would invite the EU to delay the implementation of the treaty until the referendum had taken place.

            If the EU ignored that democratic imperative, there are plenty of other citizens of Europe who feel the same as we do, who could easily be mobilised.

            Our backs are against the wall. Tyranny is only a hairbreadth away from us.

            Tyranny is the deliberate negation and abandonment of the democratic principle. That is the abiding chacteristic of the EU.

            This is an analogy:

            Let’s suppose the opposition leader says: “This is a disgrace. When we take over the council, I will ensure the building g is looked after properly and repaired.”
            Let’s suppose that the current council leader burns the building down and shouts: “I’d like to see you repair THAT!”
            And further, let’s suppose that some people say: “Yeah! That’s right! You promised to repair the building! Ha!”
            They’d be pretty stupid, wouldn’t they?

          • A Silent Emission of Bowel Gas says:

            Only problem with that analogy is that it doesn’t apply to the situation.

            The opposition leader actually said, “When we take over you have a cast iron guarantee that I will give you a vote on your view of the council on this building programme.”

            Whether the vote changes anything or the building still stands is entirely irrelevant. (That pass was sold years ago.)

    Now come on fellers – play fair. Dave is technically in the right. The treaty is being ratified. Legally, we can’t now veto it – referrendum or no referrendum. The UK has legally signed up to it – that isn’t Dave’s fault, it’s those bastards Blair and Brown who promised a vote and then reneged. Dave can’t unsign the treaty.

    But what he can do is tear it up. Tell them to go take a running jump. Tell them that the UK doesn’t give a fig what they do in the EU, but we’re playing by our own rules because, gosh, we’re an independent nation. And if they dont’like it, they can fuck off.

    Tell ‘em that Dave. I’d vote for that. But vote for a compliant little surrender, after the deal is done? Nah. Not chance. I’d sooner vote for Satan, if he’d put up a fight, than surrender. I’m English me old mate. I don’t surrender.

    The only way that I can see to draw the sting of the EU is to move the arguement away from yes or no to what type of EU we want.

    Repatriation of fishing rights, reformation of the CAP etc are well worn issues that are manifestations of the problem, rather than the problems itself.

    It is shameful that the EU model has more in common with China than the USA.

    Cameron should be able to build a consensus amoungst the smaller, eastern european and nordic countries that takes the best of the EU (enlargement, freedom to travel, trading) and adds a big dollop of democracy to legitimise the project.

    The EU project explicity corrupts all those who are on the inside with salaries, perks, expenses, pension etc to ensure that there is no real dissenting voice.

    The far right Austrian party were excluded from diplomatic relations, not because of their objectionable views, but because they were anti EU. Funding is restricted to pro-eu parties.

    Add to this the fact that their own accountants won’t sign off their accounts and the persecution of whistle blowers and it all adds up to a corrupt and fundementally flawed institution.

    It would be fun to hear the weasel words of explanation as to why tranparancey and honesty are not necessary in the EU project. If this came to pass, I predict the socalists would turn on their creation with the venom of a spurned lover.

Law would override and supersede National Law, in this case, ‘the Law of the Land’– the United Kingdom, our Country. Our country would be, in effect, merely a Province in and of The European Union. In addition, the treaty would be ‘self-amending’, meaning that the Law and its application could be changed at any time without reference to the British Parliament or the British People. Government would no longer be from elected Representatives sitting in Parliament, government would be by ‘Commissioners’(not elected) in Brussels.

    most of you lot don’t seem to understand that it is whitehall manderins that are responsible for over zelously implementing EU laws and creating this impression of the EU gone mad culture we have seen over the last 20 years.

    How the french and germans have be laughing at us all this time, as we tie ourselves up in knots constantly shooting ourselves, our businesses, our lives and heritage in bending over backwards in a whitehall lead charge of regulations that hits the brick wall of reality at massive cost to the people and common sense.

    why are the french and germans laughing

    cos they just ignore the bits they don’t like and the Tories political pissing around as the only major party in the UK with a sceptical view on the EU has diluted their chance to have our say in europe.
    Cameron has started to strengthen position and power, i just hope the BOOs can see the reality and swallow the bitter pill that BROWN has forced on us.

    Focus on doing the right thing for this country and continually support the only party in this country that can ACTUALLY make a damn difference.

    So to all you old farts, liberal wets, cornish weirdos, ranting tin foil hat brigade and mutiple fake account ukippers moaning away … jog on.

    We’re having to deal with reality of economic and real politik now, not childish toy throwing of ‘i wanna i wanna ref’rendum’.

      whitehall have been behaving illegally over europe and over iraq and over afghanistan.
      whitehall have got into a habit of criminal behaviour on a domestic and international front.
      we will have to start hanging these criminals to restore law and order.

        Master Baiter says:

        tardkiller is correct. The UK’s tradition of adversarial law and the thieving lawyers guild in cohoots with parliament and whitehall leads to ludicrous implementation of reasonable European directives. Every implentation is designed to lead to more work for lawyers in settling disputes that arise from them.
        The rest of Europe indeed does laugh at the dog’s dinner the UK makes of implenting directives.

          Moley says:

          Different legal sytems.

          Courts in many European countries interpret and implement the law according to its perceived intent.

          The English system, (fittingly enough) is anally obsessive and looks only at the letter of the law in minute detail.

          The two sytems don’t mix.

          • Master Baiter says:

            Correct but the K legal system can be reformed, today is the first step, the legal leeches will have salt poured on their backs.

          • shelling-out says:

            A lot of our laws have been superseded by European Laws, which have made our legal system almost laughable. The amount of time wasted in Courts is a joke.

      Fuck Ken Clarke's EuroParty Spin says:

      Cameron will be a minor functionary in a powerless Government under Lisbon

      meekly accepting Lisbon without the democratic Vote, that would enable Britain to abrogate this piece of filth treaty, is simply cowardice

      nobody has the power to stop Dave from holding a referendum except himself

    The Sleeper says:

    I’ll bet that most of those here claiming that they will not now vote Tory,but UKIP,are based in Millbank.

    Create the illusion that UKIP are taking votes from the Opposition, regardless of their incapability to run the Country,and Brown might just survive.

    Bit naive,chaps.

    A Silent Emission of Bowel Gas says:

    It doesn’t matter that a vote won’t change anything.

    It doesn’t matter that the treaty will already be ratified.

    It doesn’t matter that Labour are as bad.

    Cast Iron gave a solemn, signed promise to the British people,

    AND HE LIED.

    Jeanne d'Arc's aunty says:

    Millions of ordinary people in other European countries said “No” when asked about this Treaty, including the French. They were promptly ignored by their politicians who went ahead with it anyway. Others were not given a choice and the Treaty was simply ratified over their heads.

    Therefore it is clear that there is a lot of underlying opposition throughout Europe to this Treaty and all it needs is somebody to organise proper, coherent opposition. No need for any violence, civil disobedience on a grand scale – eg withholding our contributions, ignoring all their “Directives” etc – would do the job.

    It thus seems to me that we would not be alone in telling the unelected EU dictators to go away boil their heads, and that other nations might also grow a pair and follow our lead. But we need a strong leader and Cameron does not seem to fit the bill.

    Maybe a coup d’etat is needed within the party to get a real Conservative back in charge. Thoughts?

    Peter Watson says:

    “I am worried that we will sleepwalk to another defeat if the choice is between staying on a Right-wing agenda, more of the same. That way we will not show we’ve changed. But on the other hand if we go down a path where we say that the European issue somehow doesn’t matter any more, and we’re not going to engage in that, I think instead of political suicide, that’s national suicide.”

      A UKIP government with a B?N?P opposition.
      The lib/lab/con are greedy, self serving, lying, criminal traitors almost without exception.
      Time they were gone.
      Remember this is the LAST TIME!!!!!!!! you will ever have a MEANINGFUL vote unless Lisbon is stopped or we get out.
      As Dumbledore would say – ‘use it well’.
      You will never get another.

    The Policy should be crystal clear, whatever it is.

    None of this mamby pamby stuff about being part of it but not actually in it.

    We need to be IN or OUT, one or the other and it doesn’t matter that much which at the moment because there’s so much to be done to dig ourselves out of Brown’s huge hole, if you’ll pardon the expression, that the EU is going to take second place to that imperative anyway…

    There’s so much more to worry about right now and for the foreseeable future that when is a treaty not a treaty and all that crap…

    So the Czech ratification on the Lisbon treaty/Constitution has happened. Well Devious Dave knew all along his so called commitment on holding a referendum,was designed soley to make the most of looking democratic on our future relationship within the EU. Cameron is guilty of sheer political opportunism,and he will need more than PR and spin surely he must realise that particular T-shirt belonged to Blair.
    Back in 2007 Dave said his word can be trusted unlike other politicians umm that will come back to haunt him!
    Dave says he wants to re-negotiat a new set of rules for the UK? How exactly will Dave do that? The Lisbon Treaty is self ammending ,there won’t be another one so this is completly false, words just words. As Klaus said after signing the Constitution there goes my countries sovereignty!!
