When Gordon Brown failed to turn up with other European leaders to sign the revived 'EU Constitution', The Treaty of Brussels, he not only displayed a lack of courage but also his apparent willingness to happily transfer further massive power to Brussels.

Unlike Gordon Brown who has broken Labour's manifesto pledge, the Conservatives have campaigned vigorously for a referendum as we are aware there would be enormous consequences for the future of the UK. The Conservative vision for the EU is a community of free and sovereign nations working together; not a United States of Europe. Of the main political parties only the Conservatives are committed to such a policy.
