Tricksy Blair

Michael Ancram said: “The referendum question seems straightforward.

“But the fact that the Government has slipped approval of this dangerous Constitution, which the great majority of British people oppose, in with the bill to let them have their say, is an underhand trick.

They are two separate issues. There should be two separate bills. It is typical that Mr Blair wants to confuse the two.

This seems to mean that MP`s get to vote for the constitution and our right to have a referendum on the Constitution, on the same vote.

Voting for the Constitution gives us a referendum but allows Blair to say to the country the House of Commons has voted for this by a large margin, thus adding power to the yes side, voting against, no referendum, of course if no then we do not need a referendum so they could argue that the two should be linked. But Blair is denying those MP`s who want a referendum but are against the Constitution a true vote.
