Yes, it is entirely appropriate. The government is there to represent the people.
Yes, leadership is required but not if it is against the will of the people (realises he has just undermined his Iraq war argument - Doh).
There is no case to continue down the road of a federal Europe. We have not been in the Euro now for over two years and guess what. The economy hasn't collapsed, millions of jobs haven't been lost all the scaremongering has been showed to be just that.
The country is waking up to the fact that we don't need to be "in" Europe politically. The continental shelf already dictates we are "in" Europe geographically and that is enough.
