Oh right, so the Tories are going to give us a referendum then? I'll look forward to seeing that.

Re: This sums up our justice system to the full
I doubt any party will give us a referendum, but thanks for that, you just illustrated my point.

Not really sure, Eric, not been down the Barbary Coast for a fair while now, so lost track of the going rates.

So if the Tories have also broken their promise on having a referendum, what's the point of laying it at Labour's door...or is that just a prime example of the sort of hypocritical, tit-for-tat, electioneering that has brought mainstream politics into such disrepute in this country?

Perhaps it's because Labour are the governing party and had every chance to give us a referendum before it was ratified. You know a referendum on Lisbon after it's implemented is a complete waste of time and money.

Democracy provides the illusion of choice.
Communism is more honest, but you are still a work slave just the same.

Funny how the Blair clone who leads you never actually mentioned this when he was giving us a "cast iron promise" on the subject. So if it's a waste of time and money, how about a referendum on the whole question of our membership of the EU? Or do your leaders not have the stomach for that, because they're actually in favour of the EU superstate?

They did mention it. They'd been saying it for a long time. I want a referendum on the EU (and I'd vote to be out)

So, you want to leave the EU, but you're a member of a political party that wants to carry on in the EU? Oh well, I suppose it makes sense to you!

Can't say that's very high on my, or I would imagine anyone else's list of priorities. The whole question of EU membership is, though, and will become inceasingly so, as Brussels starts to acquire more and more control over our lives. However, as your lot want to carry with the great EU experiment, it's not in their interests to give the UK electorate a say on the subject. It'll all end in tears, though!
