I think labour (Blair) promised a referendum before the elections, but Gordon Brown has broken that pledge.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I guess Labour’s argument is that this new treaty (Lisbon) is not longer a constitution, thus no pledge has been broken.
Cheeky bastards.
Cheers.
England hasn't had a referendum, for the full and sufficient reason that it would be rejected out of hand.
Think "stealth government" and you won't be far wrong.
