Nick Clegg and Chris Huhne have both ruled out supporting a referendum on the EU Constitreaty. Well, then, how about just saying no to the wretched thing, without any need for a referendum? It is a transfer of power to a secret legislature routinely containing, and always subject (if at all) to the rubber stamp of, many decidedly illiberal and undemocratic elements.
If an amendment to that effect were put down, then how would Michael Heseltine's mini-me vote and instruct his followers to vote? Merely calling for a referendum which is not going to happen is letting him and them off the hook. They should be made to vote on an amendment which does not mention a referendum, but which simply rejects the Constitreaty itself on principle.
Over to you, Nick Clegg and Chris Huhne?
Just as well that there is now a serious party of liberal democracy.
