THE ANGLOSPHERIC DIFFERENCE:

Cameron pledge on EU treaty poll (BBC, 1/13/08)

The Tories would hold a referendum on the EU treaty, if they won power before it was ratified by all EU states.

Party leader David Cameron said even if Parliament ratified the treaty, a Tory government would hold a referendum.

He admitted it would be difficult if all 27 states ratified it without a referendum, but said he would not be happy to let "matters rest there".

Since we still believe in the consent of the governed.
