But I am ever so synical when it comes to politicians. In 1997 I was a foot soldier for the referendum party which canvassed at least 1 million votes in that election, and on several unanswered lettered occasion wrote to the then Conservative party HQ saying why not simply go into this election promising a referendum on Europe it would win you a million votes and would have stopped much of the blood bath which happened. A lot of the people like myself who follow the nationailst parties are crying out for a party which would stand up and take this county out of the european superstate function. It is all well and good saying the lib dems walked out in protest... what did it achieve? and if you do get a vote, you all represent the pro euro vote anyway. Which rides in the face of most of the nation. What we do need in this country is a non xenophobic party , but which puts the country inhabitants before the rest of the world and insures we are all provided for before giving away ourselves to others who just hold their hands out. And out of the european superstate... This can be proven by the votes cast for UKIP and BNP in euro and local elections.. the votes they get could be given to any party that could disown its own need to be part of the gravy train and actually put the country first. Alix,

Probably because there's now no telegram service or something. At least its not been replaced by an email ;) And if you go by Microsoft Excel, there was a 29th Feb 1900. Its a 'feature' they even tried to include in some new standards until IBM put their foot down and told MS that they were being stupid. The Queen no longer sends telegrams IIRC.

It's not a week since almost the entire Lib Dem parliamentary contingent walked out of the Commons because they weren't allowed to debate EXACTLY the question you pose. It's the Tories who are going for the half measure of a referendum on just the treaty rather than the whole membership. What we'll be forced to do now as a result of having our question - which unites Europhiles and Eurosceptics, for god's sake, how often does that happen? - rejected by the cosy Commons Con-Lab club, I've no idea.

And though he wants a vote what will the actual question be or will it be a fudged one ? Because the direct question most of us want , is do you want in or out of a european superstate and for the UK and namely England to be independent again, I can not see this being asked.
