'Dream of Rome' - Boris Johnson.

All right, the so-and-so is a Tory. His premise is that the EU is setting itself up to mimic the Roman Empire, drawing parallels between the two; the Romans lasted 400 years (less than half-way INTO phpbb_the 1000-year Reich), and people wanted to join in; the EU seems to be a complete mugger's buddle and people want to get out...
I don't think he dares to admit that he wants to be a eurosceptic, but I'm still reading.

Interesting pun in the title:- it could refer to the Ancient Rome, or the Treaty thereof.
