Party line, blah, blah, blah.
Who are you, Mystic Meg, to say it won't be a much worse time in the future?
Who knows what a mess Europe might be in by 2015, the earliest a referendum is likely be discussed again?
Still, sweet of you to worry about those with private pensions.
What about those in Britain, who've worked hard every day of their lives, who get only a state pension, of which there are millions?

This is a very clear case of right/wrong.
Either you believe E.U. membership should be put to a referendum, or you don't.
Monday night's vote was on the principle of should there be one. There was no time scale attached.
M.P.'s voted to protect the E.U., because they happen to support continued membership.
People are demanding they have a say, as their democratic right.
'Not the right time' is a pathetic cop out, and shows what a pathetic bunch those who trot it out are, because that's the best excuse they can come up with.
