...negative vote by only 38 M.P.s can keep Norway out. Anti-Market groups last week claimed that they had that many M.P.s on their side. However, since both major parties are in favor of joining, as well as most newspapers and businesses, opinion may well swing some of the antiMarket M.P.s to the pro side. Norwegian worries focus on a Common Market rule that the waters of any member are open to the fishermen of all. That poses a direct economic threat to the farmer-fishermen of Norway's rich northern fjords and coastal waters. In Brussels, Norwegian negotiators...
...gifted deputy leader of the Labor Party, broke ranks to vote in favor of Britain's entry into the Common Market three weeks ago. a chant of "Traitor! Traitor!" rose from the backbenches. Jenkins, 51, knew that he was risking his political future by defying Labor's antiMarket line (as did 68 other members of the party), but he defended his stand on the grounds of "honesty and consistency." He was Chancellor of the Exchequer when Harold Wilson's Labor government attempted to join the Market in 1969, and even though Wilson reversed field after his government...

The members on the two front benches faced each other like soldiers lined up for battle, with the pro-Market Tories of Prime Minister Edward Heath confronting the mostly antiMarket Laborites of former Prime Minister Harold Wilson. On each side, groups of party rebels sat grim-faced and silent...
...Britain rejoin Europe (after 413 years, since the English quit Calais), Laborites shouted "No! No! No!" and stabbed their fingers in his direction. To pro-Marketeers, the main point was that, as the London Economist put it, "Europe cannot be fashioned against British interests once Britain is in." The antiMarket speakers said that the cost of joining was too high-in sovereignty yielded to bureaucrats in Brussels, in a threat to the British way of life, and in jobs lost to cheaper continental labor...
Unexpectedly, Heath declared a "free vote," allowing each Tory M.P. to vote according to his conscience, released from strict party discipline. Heath's advisers shrewdly pointed out that while a free vote might add a handful of Tories to the antiMarket ranks, it would make it easier for Laborites to ignore their own party discipline-and in far greater numbers, possibly as many as 70. Though Wilson continued to insist that his followers vote strictly according to the party line, it was certain that enough Labor members would break ranks to ensure a pro-Market majority...
