Report on North Wales referendum on Lisbon Treaty

This from North Wales reports on just one of the polls being arranged in the UK, linked here: North Wales mini-poll on EU constitution Feb 13 2008 by Tom Bodden, Daily Post MORE than 40,000 voters in North Wales will be offered the chance to have their say in a mini-referendum on the European Union. A campaign group yesterday launched its bid to persuade the UK Government to stage a full referendum on the Lisbon Treaty which proposes major reforms of the EU. The Welsh I Want A Referendum campaign will stage the unofficial postal ballot in the marginal seat of Aberconwy. The campaign claimed that the Lisbon Treaty is the EU Constitution, which was dropped after objections, by another name. Labour had promised a referendum on a constitution but insists that the treaty issue can be dealt with by a vote in Parliament. Voters will be sent ballot forms with two questions: “1: Should the UK hold a national referendum on the EU's Lisbon Treaty: Yes or No? 2: Should the United Kingdom adopt the EU's Lisbon Treaty: Yes or No?”
