I'm filling up, I'm so moved Just one question.
If you'd already decided you were voting against giving us a referendum, why on earth bother posting your poll question on here yesterday?

Parliament is democracy. The vote in the commons was very much reflective of the YouGov poll and other polls. Sophologist Anthony Wells has done a good piece on why Europe isn't important to most voters.
Public opinion on Europe.
Yesterday's poll here was to gauge the opinions on here on the substanive matter, a triple question, something you had either not realsied by mistake or convienently glossed.
In the end if you are saying Europe is the most important issue, then you ar relegating jobs and growth and I can say with cast iron certainty, you are way out of touch with ordinary British people.

I live on Hodder Street and have lived in the constituency virtually all my life. My flat is in one of the poorest parts of London.
If your point is I am out of touch then say so.
