Labour MP calls for Referendum!

Gisela Stuart, Labour MP for Edgbaston in Birmingham, has appeared on BBC News Site, stating that she believes that the Treaty is the constitution by another name. Turns out this lady might know what she is talking about as she was one of the Authors!

" She told MPs: "The red lines that we now say we have secured and therefore don't need a referendum, actually those red lines were already protected in the constitutional treaty on which we were prepared to give a referendum. Nothing has changed.
"This is now a question of trust. It is a question of having given a commitment to a referendum on a document which we say is good for Britain.
"We actually should ask the people to endorse that. If we are so confident it is good, we should have the confidence to ask the people."
Ms Stuart, who was a member of the group which drew up the original constitution, told MPs: "The foreign secretary and the Europe minister, who at the moment deny this treaty is substantial enough that we should be bound by that promise, they are either being deliberately disingenuous or ill-informed.


Oops looks like the chickens are coming home to roost, I for one will be watching to see how Gordo handles this one, as no amount of spin can cancel out the fact she as good as called him a liar lol....
