lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Prime Minister, the Lisbon Treaty, or rather the renamed Constitution, is your view of Europe’s future. This is the Constitution that was decisively rejected by French and Dutch voters in 2005, and which we are now seeking to force through without the consent of the people. Across the 27 Member States, opinion polls show that a majority of citizens want a referendum on the Treaty. In the UK, 80% want a referendum, and two thirds would vote ‘no’, yet our government denies us the vote it solemnly pledged in its election manifesto. Prime Minister, you speak of a Europe of democracy, but Europe tramples on public opinion. The contempt we show for public opinion makes a mockery of our claim to be a ‘Union of Values’. Over and over again my constituents tell me that they voted in 1975 for a free trade area, not a political union. It is time to dismantle the supranational political structures of the EU and return to the simple trading group which the British were promised in 1972."@en1
