Well I have just had a conversation with Ken and asked what he would have done in similar circumstances, without a shadow of a doubt he would have voted FOR the referendum, mind you I would have expected that anyway, as Ken was only ever interested in the people of Hyndburn and not his own political career, or party dogma, its just a pity others don't take the same stance
On this issue, when it comes to what's democratically the right thing to do, you're either for the people, or you're against them.

Especially so, when at 70% nationally, the vastly greater majority of people, want the right to vote in an E.U. referendum.
