EU Leaders betraying their electorates

All day a Harris Poll in the FT has been quoted as confirmation that all of the largest EU countries want a public referendum. Their leaders of course will wine, dine and defy them them. The group photograph at the end of this meeting will have 27 supposed democrats who somehow must be held to account. The CNN report on the poll is linked from here. This is a quote:

According to a poll conducted by the British newspaper The Financial Times, 70 percent of those questioned in Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain think the treaty decision should go to a vote. Another poll, in the right-wing Daily Telegraph of London, showed that 69 percent of British voters support a referendum.

In spite of the opposition, European leaders have vowed to push the treaty through, with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown telling parliament on Wednesday that he did not intend to put it to a national vote, insisting the treaty would not lead to a fundamental change in the way Britain is governed.
