The Europe We Want? EURSOC Two 26 April, 2004 As many as fifty Labour MPs could vote against the EU constitution when it is debated in parliament. Even though PM Tony Blair is expected to demand his party's MPs support the treaty, many are likely to rebel. Prominent among Labour's Euro-realists is Frank Field, MP for Birkenhead. In today's Telegraph he writes that the constitution referendum will allow Britons to decide what sort of Europe they want - the first time they have been asked since Britain joined the EU. "Do we vote for an essentially 1950s backward-looking view, which the constitution offers, with yet more powers concentrated in Brussels? Or do we want that Europe develops together a different future where as much political and economic power as possible is exercised at a local level? That is the real choice, and as more countries offer their voters a referendum, my guess is that it is this future which the people - as opposed to their political masters - endorse."
