Well, here’s a turn-up for the books. According to an Ipsos-Mori poll in today’s Sun, the country is split about whether they would vote to back or reject the EU reform treaty:
The result of a referendum would be a nail-biter with 46 per cent saying they would reject the Treaty and 44 per cent backing it.
The poll also asked how people would vote if there were a referendum on whether Britain should stay in the EU. It showed 56 per cent wanting to stay in and 44 per cent wanting to get out.
Given the fevered anti-EU press the treaty has received, I’d have expected the public mood at this stage to be much more agin than this poll suggests.

That poll also suggests that if Brown calls an election the Lib Dems are in serious trouble.
I hope that’s not true as two party states aren’t healthy for democracy.
