Gordon Brown will sign EU treaty in private

Downing Street seems to wish the treaty would just go away. They hope that if no-one sees Brown signing up to it they won't notice it is happening. They are just burying their heads in the sand.

"The Lisbon treaty gives the EU new powers over everything from our public services to crime and immigration. Unless the Government is prepared to take it head-on and give people their say in a referendum, then it will only reinforce the perception that Europe is grabbing more and more powers in an undemocratic way."

The Danish Prime Minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, has announced that the Lisbon Treaty does not involve any loss of Danish sovereignty and therefore his Government would not be calling a referendum on the issue.

"When sovereignty is relinquished, a referendum is needed; when no sovereignty is relinquished, Parliament will ratify the text," he said.

So far only Ireland has said it will hold a referendum on the treaty. Its constitution demands that all EU treaties are put to a national vote.
