From today's Independent :
Mr Brown, who was in Berlin yesterday for dinner with Chancellor Angela Merkel, said it would be possible to make rapid progress on setting a date for the treaty agreed in principle at last month's Brussels summit. "We will not require a referendum on this. It is something that can be worked on closely by Parliament. I think we can make progress quickly on this," he said.

Sadly i thin kthere is no chance of a referendum. Why are the murdoch press lying so low on tis?
Maybe hte dirty digger loves him that much...
The least-unlikely explanation was propounded on ConHome and is as follows:
Murdoch knows that the EU could nobble him by launching some monopoly type investigation and forcing him to sell off some media interests that he has all over Europe.
So he has come to an uneasy truce with the EU, whereby they leave him in peace in exchange for him supporting whichever party is more EU-phile.
The Tories used to be pretty pro-EU and Labour were slightly more against, positions which switched in mid-90s, at which stage the Murdoch press also switched allegiance to Labour.
Sounds a bit far fetched but it'll have to do until something better comes along!
