Abstract
Tony Blair's U‐turn in April 2004 on the issue of holding a referendum on the new EU constitution means that British voters can anticipate the prospect of at least two future referendums on major European issues – the vote on the constitution taking its place in the electoral queue with the long promised referendum on the Euro.1 Together with Britain, at least eight other EU member countries, including Spain, France and The Netherlands, will also hold (or have already held) referendums on the new constitution.2 Thus, the two future British referendums, along with a number of similar votes in other countries, will provide students of electoral behavior with unparalleled new opportunities to assess the role which referendums are increasingly coming to play in modern democratic political life.
