People want this right.
Which is presumably why it was dangled like a carrot on a stick before the electorate, by both Blair, Brown, and Cameron, prior to various General Elections.
But who all reneged on this promise, once they'd secured election victory.
You, yourself, said on here, a little over two weeks ago said that you, and I quote, 'have no objection to a simple in out vote' as it 'settles the issue democratically'...then voted against giving us this right!
Why?
By sabotaging people's right for a democratic vote on this issue, just because you happen to be pro-European Union, just makes you look like you are protecting what you happen to think is right, and are more interested in supporting your party's elite leadership, than supporting the people who elected you.
You can attempt to spin this however you like.
In the eyes of most of us you have acted very shoddily towards us all.
