MPs poised to renew calls for Lisbon Treaty referendum

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8685001.stm


	Quote: The amendment allocates 18 extra MEPs to 12 countries, including one extra MEP for the UK . It will require approval throughout the EU.

What's the benefit of extra MEPs?

And I wouldn't be surprised if our new coalition had members from both parties taking both sides of this argument :oops:

For the MEP in question? More receipt free expenses.
For us? No idea.

Re: MPs poised to renew calls for Lisbon Treaty referendum

If we did have a referendum I would vote for it. Though the press will probably get behind an anti EU campaign.
