United Kingdom Liberal Democrat Party leader, Nick Clegg, called for a vote to 'settle Britain’s relations with Europe once and for all', 25 February 2008, as he stepped up Liberal Democrat demands for a referendum on European Union membership. The move was swiftly dismissed by opponents as an attempt to 'paper over' his party’s split on Europe by 'running away' from its alleged promise to back a plebiscite on the EU reform treaty.
