Uk and the Lisbon Treaty

A day after the Lisbon Treaty to strengthen the European Unioncleared its last major hurdle, the leader of the British Conservatives,David Cameron, announced Wednesday that he would not hold a referendum on the accord if he became prime minister. Mr. Cameron had earlier promised to hold a referendum, but that was before it became clear that all 27 member countries would agree to the treaty. “A made-up referendum might make people feel better for five minutes,” he said in a speech in London, “but my job is to put together a plan that lasts five years.”

In this situation we can see that in the UK, the situation about the Lisbon treaty is still mentioned. All these situation about the Lisbon treaty is not making happy to all the Britain s, even if the government is in favor to the treaty, the citizens are not really in favor or it. The government of the United Kingdom didn't give a referendum to the people. The government only took the decision to sig it. And this I think that is because if all the people could know exactly what the treaty is, it would be even more difficult to be signed by all the countries.
