No that's representing their respective constituency's views.

The remark about being 'too stupid to understand it' are your (quite crass) words. I consider myself to be as compus mentus as the next bloke and I find the treaty somewhat unreadable. That doesn't make me stupid.
I trust the Government to understand it for me and act upon it as it is their job. You would do the same if your party were ever able to be elected into power, regardless of the tripe you claim about creating the same thread if this was a Conservative action.
Your claim of what "it's about" is merely political spin from an oppositional view, as is proved with "
Why did Labour tell us...". Good grief - it might as well have come straight from Cameron. There's no concern whatsoever in Conservative critique for the treaty's effect upon the people of Britain. Point scoring is the one and only concern of the Conservative party. It always has been and it always will be.

If people have so much of a strong opinion on the subject then why aren't they telling their MPs Cyfr? Why must we have a referendum? Last I checked, the system of MPs representing your area's views in parliament still existed.
You don't need a referendum in order to let the public have a say.
Change the record about election promises please!
Only people who voted Labour on basis of a proposed referendum have the right to criticise the Government in the issue of the treaty on this basis.
