That European Constitution, I mean Treaty

I saw in a newspaper report that President Sarkozy of France has said that we cannot have referendums for the new treaty in the various countries in Europe as the vote will be a 'no'. I had to read it twice to confirm that was what he said. So, we now have a politician saying we cannot give the public a democratic vote on this issue because they will say no and we wish to defy the will of our employers. If he was the CEO of a company this would be asking for a sacking. In this case I suggest the situation is even worse. This sounds like treason to me. If a politician can say he denying the will of the voters then he must surely be guilty of treason? No doubt Brown will be slightly smarter, he won't say why we won't have a referendum here, we just won't have one.
