William Hague finally grasps the full danger

My posting immediately below hit the nail on the head regarding the real threat to democracy. Now the Shadow Foreign Secretary has even grasped the exact same point, for once concentrating on his supposed main function. The quote comes from here: "Our profoundest concern is that a partly supranational institution must never lose sight of the need for democratic legitimacy. That is the great danger the EU faces if the EU Constitution under whatever name goes through without the people's democratic consent. "At the least, the lively, far-ranging debate a referendum campaign would bring about would rekindle popular engagement with the European Union, restore some badly needed trust in British politics and re-empower voters."
