I have corrected the account of opposition comment on "jobs for British people", since it is incontrovertible that the policy would contravene EU law and that is exactly their claim. I also added their challenge to hold a referendum on the draft EU Treaty, claiming that it is the rejected Constitution re-invented. These claims are interesting put together, because they are both reasonable positions on their own, but taken together fairly incoherent. Any UK political party is very vulnerable to popular opinion on what can be seen as pro-EU measures, and the Conservative position is clearly that of an opposition and not a party waiting to seize power.--Martin Baldwin-Edwards 06:01, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
