If it were as simple as a council leader ordering the returning officer to do it, don't you think it would have happened.

I believe the Tory party should change tack tonight and vote in favour of the motion of holding a referendum on AV.<br /><br />Then surprise everyone, just before the vote by announcing their intention to add another further question in the referendum on EU membership or Scottish MP’s<br />being restricted not to vote on English laws.<br /><br />I think it would be a vote winner and it would be accepted as the Money question to hold the referendum has already been passed.<br /><br />A little Machiavellian perhaps, but it would haunt Brown, as an own goal and the Tory party would have a vote winner for their manifesto.The Purplelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824474829595685623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-14524557601062896112010-02-09T18:21:57.232+00:002010-02-09T18:21:57.232+00:00Are there going to be exceptions for the really sp...Are there going to be exceptions for the really spread-out seats like the Scillies and the Scottish Isles?
