Macpherson asked John Redwood: "If there were a referendum, and the public voted in favour of the treaty, do you think your party would feel pressure to shift their euro-sceptic line towards the public concensus?"

The public consensus is that there are too many rules and regulations coming from Brussels, and the European Union has too much control over our lives.
