A vote on the Lisbon Treaty would no doubt be subject to the usual EU shenanigans whereby a 'no' magically becomes a 'yes'. Either that, or this zombie Treaty would rise from the dead again after being 'abandoned'.<BR/><BR/>No what we want is a vote on our membership in principle of the EU. That would have a degree of finality about it. And we could make a clean break from it, and get back to running our own country for ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Strange because no doubt the Lib Dems would campaign to stay in. But then no politician in their party or elsewhere is packing the balls to lead this country outside the EU.Richard Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02021997075923737760noreply@blogger.com
