Mr Fogh Rasmussen is meeting with UK prime minister Gordon Brown, who himself is also resisting domestic political pressure for an EU referendum, in London on Wednesday (10 October). Both leaders are keenly aware that a decision to hold a referendum in either country could create a domino effect and put pressure on the other. So far, only Ireland has said it will definitely have a referendum. The Netherlands - another country where a referendum had been a possibility - recently said it would not have a public poll.

The leader of the Czech Republic also seems opposed to a referendum. See MEP Richard Corbett, here.
The reform treaty does not establish anything like the Political Europe. It is what Blair already claimed of the constitutional treaty. A clean-up exercise.
