lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I have a question for you. How is it that the High Representative, Mr Solana, can come to this House and tell us a direct untruth? I sat here and heard him say that everyone wants a stronger European Union and a stronger CFSP. I represent 4.2 million people in the East Midlands of the United Kingdom. Not one of them has ever said that they want a stronger European Union or a stronger CFSP, though many have said to me they would like to see our country out of the European Union. If you believe this is what the European people want, why will you not let them vote on the European Constitution and the Lisbon Treaty which are designed to deliver it? Have you forgotten that the French voted against it and the Dutch voted against it? Do you not know that 80% of my constituents want a referendum and, if they were given it, at least 80% of them would vote ‘no’? The British people that I represent want trade and cooperation in Europe, but they are absolutely opposed to political union and a European army."@en1
