| Position Held : Prime Minister |
| Promise Made |
In 2005 the Labour government made a manifesto promise to give the country a referendum on the new European Union treaty... |

|
| How Broken |
So far the Labour government has failed to allow a referendum, claiming the revised treaty is ..less far reaching than its predecessor . This despite the fact that nine European leaders have stated it is 95% the same as the original document. |
| Consequences |
This failure to honour a manifesto promise has prevented the British electorate from expressing it's views about the European Union treaty. |
