On October 27th rallies took place the length and breath of the United Kingdom to campaign for a referendum on the EU Constitution.

The rallies in London and across the UK - the first stage of the CIB's "Rolling Thunder" campaign designed to force the government into holding a referendum - aim to highlight the far-reaching new powers that the treaty seeks to give the EU. The treaty makes the European Union a single legal entity for the first time, with an EU Head of State and EU Foreign Minister (known as a "High Representative") as well as abolishing the UK's veto on many significant areas of policy.
