Roger Knapman, leader of the UK Independence Party, is quoted in the Guardian as saying

“Mr Straw has already launched the government’s misinformation campaign, claiming that voting for an end to self-government is somehow patriotic. If the consequence of a No vote is an end to British membership of the EU, then isn’t Mr Blair proposing to ask the wrong question?”

The last sentence gives the Eusceptic the perfect rebut to the argument we are going to be faced with, that a No vote means we will have to leave the EU. Blair has set the question and it is not about leaving the EU, yet they are going to be campaigning as if it were. What he has done and intends to do in the campaign is to set one question and then try to make us believe it means something else. If Blair wishes to judge the feeling in the country about leaving the EU he should pose that question not the other one.
