French President Nicolas Sarkozy has admitted that a referendum on the European "Reform" Treaty in Britain would lead to a no vote. He says there will be "no referendum in France because that would mean having one in Britain and that would be a danger to Europe."

Speaking at the Conference of Presidents in Strasbourg, Mr Sarkozy said that if the treaty were put to the people of France and Britain, then the treaty would fall.

He said there was a large divide between the governments and the people throughout the Union on this issue.

The President has revealed that not only will the French people not have the chance to vote on the treaty, which they rejected in 2005, but that the government will ratify the treaty in the first few weeks of 2008.

Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party, says Mr Sarkozy is "guilty of an utterly cynical political plan."

He said: "Not only does he stop his own people from having a say, but he is also blocking Britain from having the referendum which this government promised."

Mr Farage added: "At least he was honest about one thing. He admits that the British people would say no to the treaty."

The Minister for Europe, Jim Murphy, has been meeting with the Dutch government to discuss ways of avoiding having a referendum.

Even more reason now to warn the public that if they dont pay attention and vote or take action againist this evil EU monster then all their futures are ****** for good.

It's almost like they know they can take the **** now.

Assuming it is true, then it is far more than just a 'cynical political plan', it is an international conspiracy against the British people.

I think that Farage really needs to step up his game now. Accusing politicians of being cynical is about as newsworthy as my cat sneezing. We need something a lot more forceful that will wake up the public to what is happening and force the media to start reporting on it in more depth and frequency.

How about mass printing now! with the headlines saying if you still want freedom then read this speech from the french president now!.

If any of our media were truly non-traitor owned, this would be all over the headlines, without any need for Farage to do anything.

This is what we are really up against.

"no referendum in France because that would mean having one in Britain"

Why would having a referendum in France mean having one in Britain? It doesn't make any sense.

Does anyone have a link to the actual speech? I would like to see what he really said, not just what a press release and a Sun article says that he said.

European Parliament - News - Press service - Info - Sarkozy to MEPs: "Europe must be alive, a grand ideal and a grand promise"

That looks like an edited speech to me but if The Sun and UKIP are not good enough for you will the Telegraph do?

EU polls would be lost, says Nicolas Sarkozy - Telegraph

As it was meant to be a closed meeting a full transcript may never be publicly available.
