The one about Kate Hoey was good but it did not mention her stance over what she calls the EU Treaty and is know to others as the EU Constitution, the Lisbon Treaty and the EU Cositreaty.

She believes that there should be a public referendum about it.

Her views are very different from other members of her party. They do not want a referendum even though they promised one.

David Cameron, whose party (along with his coalition partners) also promised a referendum, had something very interesting to say on the matter. He was asked by an interviewer if he thought that there should be a referendum. The answer was no, because our membership of the EU was good for Britain. The clear implication of this is that he thinks that the public would vote against the treaty.

Even the Tories have woken up to what is obvious to most people; that the Federal institutions of the EU are deeply unpopular.
