Oh right, I see, well, maybe the government should have thought about that before they offered us the prospect of a referendum in the first place...only to snatch it away again when they realised they'd probably lose.
Incidentally, I see that 29 Labour MPs had the courage to vote for a referendum, right across the spectrum from Frank Field on the right to Dennis Skinner on the left...is that "point scoring by the idiotic opposition parties"?
