I'm not encouraging people to get hold of the treaty, read it and understand it in raw form. However I'm pretty sure given the major changes at face value people can make up their own minds.

I won't stop mentioning the manifesto no, that's the whole issue here. If politicians say they will do something, they should do it, not do the exact opposite. You're wrong when you suggest I would follow the Conservative party blindly, I have no problem with criticising them when I think they're wrong, and promising something then voting against it is WRONG.

You say it might as well come out of David Camerons mouth? Well it's the job of the opposition and parliament as a whole to scrutinise the executive. Labour and the Liberal Democrats have failed to do this, because they failed to ensure that Labour kept to its promise.

You don't seem to get it, they said they would do it and did the opposite. It's not an issue of them not representing us, I'm well aware of the system of representation, but on THIS issue of handing over powers to the EU, every party PROMISED they would give us an individual say, regardless of whether we agreed or disagreed with their other policies.

I can't believe you're suggesting I don't have a right to criticise my MP because I didn't vote for him. I didn't vote for anyone because I wasn't old enough in the general election, however if I want to inform people about how their MP and government promise them one thing and vote the opposite once they're in parliament, I will.
