The MSE European Referendum

11 March 2008

The MSE European Referendum: what'd be your vote on the Lisbon Treaty?

Last week in parliament there was a major spat about whether to have a referendum either on the new European Lisbon Treaty (which replaced the constitution) or even on Britain in Europe itself.

As the decision was 'no referendum', I thought it'd be fun to see what MoneySavers think.

The MSE European Referendum: what'd be your vote on the Lisbon Treaty?

Last week in parliament there was a major spat about whether to have a referendum either on the new European Lisbon Treaty (which replaced the constitution) or even on Britain in Europe itself.

As the decision was 'no referendum', I thought it'd be fun to see what MoneySavers think.

Which is closest to your view?

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
