The Prime Minister
As ever, the hon. Lady is right about almost everything, and I am rightly chastised.
Mr Edward Leigh (Gainsborough) (Con)
What I suspect the majority of British people want is what they were offered in the only referendum that they have ever been allowed on Europe, namely a say on whether there should be a common market—no more, no less. Given that our partners have the overwhelming balance of trade in their favour, why should they veto our negotiation for a free market area? The door is unlocked; why does the Prime Minister not walk through it and renegotiate?
