  Paul, Britain cannot abide to any change in EU policy that would detract powers from Britain without first a referendum. Since last year this has become Law in Parliament (London).
  So any idea of Britain joining or otherwise adhering to stronger EU regulation is out of the question unless the populace agree by referendum.
  
  There is no way anyone can get past this pillbox, as otherwise it would mean breaking the constitutional law. Dave knows this, he himself was PM when the law was voted through Parliament, so if the EU leaders want to give us a hard time and impose some new regulations on us that would detract sovereignty, Dave knows full well that he cannot do anything to prevent a referendum on the matter.
  
  All he'd need say to 'em is: "well you lot forced us to hold a referendum".
  
  So by and large Barry has got it right, and it might well be the very EU that severs the rope binding Britain to Babylon.
